They have this big book called the 'DSM-IV,' you know, that is supposedly written about crazy people, but I think it is a book that is written by crazy people!

If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place.
William Glasser
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
William Glasser
It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.
William Glasser
Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.
William Glasser
If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away.
William Glasser
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
William Glasser
There is no real reason to fail a child, Once children start failing, they begin to believe that they can't do anything. They give up.
William Glasser
No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence.
William Glasser
What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher.
William Glasser
Without pay, no human being will work up to their ability if he or she is not cared for and respected.
