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
The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.

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.

Idealists are people who believe in the potential of human nature for transformation. . . . The most essential attribute of human nature is its mutability and freedom from instinct . . . it is always within our power to change our nature. So it is actually the idealists who are on the mark and the realists who are off base.
M. Scott Peck
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
From the age of three on, as far back as I remember, I just knew there was a God behind everything.
M. Scott Peck
Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems ... create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
A life of total dedication to the truth also means a life of willingness to be personally challenged.
M. Scott Peck
Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom indeed, they create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
An unconscious, gentle process whereby people who want to be loving attempt to be so by telling little white lies, by withholding some of the truth about themselves and their feelings in order to avoid conflict. Pseudocommunity is conflict-avoiding true community is conflict-resolving.
M. Scott Peck
Self examination is the key to insight, which is the key to wisdom
M. Scott Peck
The feeling of being valuable - 'I am a valuable person'- is essential to mental health and is a cornerstone of self-discipline.
M. Scott Peck
God wants us to become himself or herself or itself. We are growing toward Godhood. God is the goal of evolution.
