Integrity is never painless.
M. Scott Peck

There is no virtue inherent in un-constructive suffering.

Image
When we avoid the legitimate suffering that results from dealing with problems, we also avoid the growth that problems demand from us.

Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom indeed, they create our courage and wisdom.

M. Scott Peck
Image
It is not easy for us to change. But it is possible and it is our glory as human beings
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
The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning.
M. Scott Peck

We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and to begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience -- to appreciate the fact that life is complex.
M. Scott Peck
Image

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