More quotes by 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
The quickest way to change your attitude toward pain is to accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth.
M. Scott Peck
Jesus was lonely and sorrowful and scared-an unbelievably real person.
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
Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?
M. Scott Peck
It is not easy for us to change. But it is possible and it is our glory as human beings
M. Scott Peck
Genuine love is volitional rather than emotional.
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
We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.
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
We cannot be a source for strength unless we nurture our own strength.
M. Scott Peck
Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.
M. Scott Peck
In and through community lies the salvation of the world.
M. Scott Peck
Self examination is the key to insight, which is the key to wisdom
M. Scott Peck
What does a life of total dedication to truth mean? It means, first of all, a life of continuous and never-ending stringent self-examination. We know the world only through our relationship to it. Therefore, to know the world, we must not only examine it but we must simultaneously examine the examiner.
M. Scott Peck
If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything.
M. Scott Peck
All my life I used to wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then, about seven years ago, I realized that I was never going to grow up--that growing is an ever ongoing process.
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
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
The will to grow is, in essence, the same phenomenon as love. Genuinely loving people are, by definition, growing people.
M. Scott Peck
