More quotes by Milton H. Erickson

Milton H. Erickson

Milton H. Erickson
You don't take insults. You leave them with the insulter.
Milton H. Erickson
Enlightenment is always preceded by confusion.
Milton H. Erickson
You use hypnosis not as a cure but as a means of establishing a favorable climate in which to learn.
Milton H. Erickson
What is easiest to see is often overlooked.
Milton H. Erickson
Life is lived in the present and directed toward a future.
