More quotes by M. Scott Peck

M. Scott Peck
We must be willing to fail and to appreciate the truth that often Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.
M. Scott Peck
If your goal is to avoid pain and escape suffering, I would not advise you to seek higher levels of consciousness or spiritual evolution.
M. Scott Peck
Integrity is never painless.
M. Scott Peck
When you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself in all ways that are necessary.
M. Scott Peck
I make no distinction between the mind and the spirit, and therefore no distinction between the process of achieving spiritual growth and achieving mental growth. They are one and the same.
M. Scott Peck
The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action.
M. Scott Peck
If you wish to discern either the presence or absence of integrity, you need to ask only one question. What is missing? Has anything been left out?
M. Scott Peck
The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.
M. Scott Peck
