M. Scott Peck
I am dubious as to how far we can move toward global community-which is the only way to achieve international peace-until we learn the basic principles of community in our own individual lives and personal spheres of influence.
M. Scott Peck
Examination of the world without is never as personally painful as examination of the world within.
M. Scott Peck
Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom indeed, they create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
Mental health is an ongoing process of dedication to reality at all costs
