Negotiating the adolescent stage is neither quick nor easy.
Virginia Satir
Put together all the existing families and you have society. It is as simple as that. Whatever kind of training took place in the individual family will be reflected in the kind of society that these families create.
Virginia Satir
Taste everything, but swallow only what fits.
Virginia Satir
My dream is to make families a place where adults with high self esteem can develop. I think we have reached a point where if we don't get busy on dreams of this sort, our end is in sight. We need a world that is as good for human beings as it is for technology.
Virginia Satir

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
I feel that adolescence has served its purpose when a person arrives at adulthood with a strong sense of self-esteem, the ability to relate intimately, to communicate congruently, to take responsibility, and to take risks. The end of adolescence is the beginning of adulthood. What hasn't been finished then will have to be finished later.
Virginia Satir
I give life to that which I notice. What I don't notice dies.
Virginia Satir
Our biggest problem as human beings is not knowing that we don't know.
Virginia Satir

No one's fingerprints are exactly the same as anyone else's.
Virginia Satir
You have all played a significant part in my development of loving. As a result, my life has been rich and full, so I leave feeling very grateful.
Virginia Satir
I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.
Virginia Satir
