More quotes by 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
With total discipline we can solve all problems.
M. Scott Peck
I've had all kinds of experiences with God in terms of revelation through a still, small voice or dreams or coincidences.
M. Scott Peck
It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.
M. Scott Peck
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
Self examination is the key to insight, which is the key to wisdom
M. Scott Peck
Integrity is never painless.
M. Scott Peck
We are most often in the dark when we are the most certain, and the most enlightened when we are the most confused.
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
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
Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?
M. Scott Peck
Community is and must be inclusive. The great enemy of community is exclusivity. Groups that exclude others because they are poor or doubters or divorced or sinners or of some different race or nationality are not communities they are cliques--actually defensive bastions against community.
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
When you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself in all ways that are necessary.
M. Scott Peck
God wants us to become himself or herself or itself. We are growing toward Godhood. God is the goal of evolution.
M. Scott Peck
In and through community lies the salvation of the world.
M. Scott Peck
When we avoid the legitimate suffering that results from dealing with problems, we also avoid the growth that problems demand from us.
M. Scott Peck
Love always requires courage and involves risk.
M. Scott Peck
When we love someone our love becomes demonstrable or real only through our exertion - through the fact that for that someone (or for ourself) we take an extra step or walk an extra mile. Love is not effortless. To the contrary, love is effortful.
M. Scott Peck
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.
