Life-Enriching Education: an education that prepares children to learn throughout their lives, relate well to others, and themselves, be creative, flexible, and venturesome, and have empathy not only for their immediate kin but for all of humankind.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Use anger as a wake-up call to unmet needs.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
You'll find people less threatening if you hear what they're needing rather than what they're thinking about you.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Two things distinguish nonviolent actions from violent actions. First, you don't see an enemy and second, your intention is not to make the other side suffer.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Whether I praise or criticize someone's action, I imply that I am their judge, that I'm engaged in rating them or what they have done.

Marshall B. Rosenberg
Needs are the expression of life through us.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
As radical as it may seem, it is possible to do things only out of play. I believe that to the degree that we engage moment by moment in the playfulness of enriching life- motivated solely by the desire for its enrichment- to that degree are we being compassionate with ourselves.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
People heal from their pain when they have an authentic connection with another human being.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Imagine connecting with the human spirit in each person in any situation at any time. Imagine interacting with others in a way that allows everyone's need to be equally valued. Imagine creating organizations and life-serving systems responsive to our needs and the needs of our environment.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
I don't think you can have an authentic connection when one person is diagnosing the other.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Our goal is to create a quality of empathic connection that allows everyone's needs to be met.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
We can never make anyone do anything against their will without enormous consequences.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
If you are a jackal, you will try to reassure. Jackals try to fix people in pain. They can't stand pain, but make matters worse by trying to get rid of it. Put on giraffe ears. Try to hear what they are feeling and needing.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
I have tried to integrate the spirituality into the training in a way that meets my need not to destroy the beauty of it through abstract philosophizing.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
NVC is a reminder to focus our attention where we are most likely to get our needs met.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
We want to take action out of the desire to contribute to life rather than out of fear, guilt, shame, or obligation.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Empathy lies in our ability to be present without opinion.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Never connect yourself with the other person's pain. Just hear their need. Leave yourself out of the other person's feelings and needs.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Fear of corporal punishment obscures children's awareness of the compassion underlying the parent's demands.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
