Image
Not only do self-love and love of others go hand in hand but ultimately they are indistinguishable.
M. Scott Peck
Image
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
Image
Going into the unknown is invariably frightening, but we learn what is significantly new only through adventures.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Integrity is never painless.
M. Scott Peck
Image
The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Discipline is wisdom and vice versa.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will -- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Falling in love is not an act of will. It is not a conscious choice. No matter how open to or eager for it we may be, the experience may still elude us. Contrarily, the experience may capture us at times when we are definitely not seeking it, when it is inconvenient and undesirable.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Consciousness and Healing To proceed very far through the desert, you must be willing to meet existential suffering and work it through. In order to do this, the attitude toward pain has to change. This happens when we accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems ... create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
Image
With total discipline we can solve all problems.
M. Scott Peck
Image
There is no virtue inherent in un-constructive suffering.
M. Scott Peck
Image
The path to holiness lies through questioning everything.
M. Scott Peck
Image
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
Image
We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Discipline, it has been suggested, is the means of human spiritual evolution. What provides the motive, the energy for discipline? This force I believe to be love. I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.
M. Scott Peck
Image
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
Image
The will to grow is, in essence, the same phenomenon as love. Genuinely loving people are, by definition, growing people.
M. Scott Peck
Image
As Benjamin Franklin said, 'Those things that hurt, instruct.' It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.

We cannot be a source for strength unless we nurture our own strength.
