More quotes by M. Scott Peck
Jesus was lonely and sorrowful and scared-an unbelievably real person.
M. Scott Peck
The feeling of being valuable - 'I am a valuable person'- is essential to mental health and is a cornerstone of self-discipline.
M. Scott Peck
Courage is not the absence of fear it is the making of action in spite of fear.
M. Scott Peck
In and through community lies the salvation of the world.
M. Scott Peck
We cannot even let the other person into our hearts or minds unless we empty ourselves. We can truly listen to him or truly hear her only out of emptiness.
M. Scott Peck
Good discipline requires time. When we have no time to give our children, or no time that we are willing to give, we don't even observe them closely enough to become aware of when their need for our disciplinary assistance is expressed subtley.
M. Scott Peck
Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.
M. Scott Peck

M. Scott Peck
We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.
M. Scott Peck
If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything.
M. Scott Peck
Not only do self-love and love of others go hand in hand but ultimately they are indistinguishable.
M. Scott Peck
The time and the quality of the time that their parents devote to them indicate to children the degree to which they are valued by their parents. . . . When children know that they are valued, when they truly feel valued in the deepest parts of themselves, then they feel valuable. This knowledge is worth more than any gold.
M. Scott Peck
The major threats to our survival no longer stem from nature without but from our own human nature within. It is our carelessness, our hostilities, our selfishness and pride and willful ignorance that endanger the world.
M. Scott Peck
What does a life of total dedication to truth mean? It means, first of all, a life of continuous and never-ending stringent self-examination. We know the world only through our relationship to it. Therefore, to know the world, we must not only examine it but we must simultaneously examine the examiner.
M. Scott Peck
Delaying gratification is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with. It is the only decent way to live.
M. Scott Peck
But for the first time, I had a religious identity. I had come home. And so I called myself a Zen Buddhist at the age of 18.
M. Scott Peck
When we cling, often forever, to our old patterns of thinking and behaving, we fall to negotiate any crisis, to truly grow up, and to experience the joyful sense of rebirth that accompanies the successful transition into greater maturity.
