More quotes by Virginia Satir
It's sad that children cannot know their parents when they were younger when they were loving, courting, and being nice to one another. By the time children are old enough to observe, the romance has all too often faded or gone underground.
Virginia Satir
The symbol in Chinese for crisis is made up of two ideographs: one means danger, the other means opportunity. This symbol is a reminder that we can choose to turn a crisis into an opportunity or into a negative experience.
Virginia Satir
I think if I have one message, one thing before I die that most of the world would know, it would be that the event does not determine how to respond to the event. That is a purely personal matter. The way in which we respond will direct and influence the event more than the event itself.
Virginia Satir
We get together on the basis of our similarities we grow on the basis of our differences.
Virginia Satir
I want to love you without clutching, appreciate you without judging, join you without invading, invite you without demanding, leave you without guilt, criticize you without blaming, and help you without insulting. If I can have the same from you, then we can truly meet and enrich each other.

Virginia Satir
I want to appreciate you without judging. Join you without invading. Invite you without demanding. Leave you without guilt.

Your responses to the events of life are more important than the events themselves.
Virginia Satir
Once a human being has arrived on this earth, communication is the largest single factor determining what kinds of relationships he makes with others and what happens to him in the world about him.
Virginia Satir
What lingers from the parent's individual past, unresolved or incomplete, often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.
Virginia Satir
The message sent is not always the message received.
Virginia Satir
We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.
Virginia Satir
I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.
Virginia Satir
Negotiating the adolescent stage is neither quick nor easy.
Virginia Satir
Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.
