More quotes by M. Scott Peck
Let me simply state that it is wrong to regard any other human being, a priori, as an object, or an 'It.' This is so because each and every human being - you, every friend, every stranger, every foreigner - is precious.
M. Scott Peck
The best decision-makers are those who are willing to suffer the most over their decisions but still retain their ability to be decisive.
M. Scott Peck
Everything that happens in life is there to aid our spiritual growth.
M. Scott Peck
In and through community lies the salvation of the world.
M. Scott Peck
Listening well is an exercise of attention and by necessity hard work. It is because they do not realize this or because they are not willing to do the work that most people do not listen well.
M. Scott Peck
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
The path to holiness lies through questioning everything.
M. Scott Peck
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
M. Scott Peck
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
Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?
M. Scott Peck
Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience.
M. Scott Peck
The principal form that the work of love takes is attention. When we love another person we give him or her our attention we attend to that person's growth.
M. Scott Peck
Discipline is wisdom and vice versa.
M. Scott Peck
Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems ... create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
I make no distinction between the mind and the spirit, and therefore no distinction between the process of achieving spiritual growth and achieving mental growth. They are one and the same.
M. Scott Peck
Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom indeed, they create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
The major threats to our survival no longer stem from nature without but from our own human nature within. It is our carelessness, our hostilities, our selfishness and pride and willful ignorance that endanger the world.
M. Scott Peck
It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.
M. Scott Peck
Mental health is an ongoing process of dedication to reality at all costs
M. Scott Peck
When we cling, often forever, to our old patterns of thinking and behaving, we fall to negotiate any crisis, to truly grow up, and to experience the joyful sense of rebirth that accompanies the successful transition into greater maturity.
M. Scott Peck
