M. Scott Peck

M. Scott Peck
It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.
M. Scott Peck
Community [is] a group of individuals who have learned how to communicate honestly with each other, whose relationships go deeper than their masks of composure, and who have developed some significant commitment to rejoice together, mourn together, and to delight in each other, make others' conditions our own.
M. Scott Peck
Love always requires courage and involves risk.
M. Scott Peck
If we seek to be loved - if we expect to be loved - this cannot be accomplished we will be dependent and grasping not genuinely loving.
M. Scott Peck
Discipline is wisdom and vice versa.
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
Falling in love is not an extension of one's limits or boundaries it is a partial and temporary collapse of them.
M. Scott Peck
