The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.
William Glasser
What we get, and all we ever get, from the outside is information how we choose to act on this information is up to us.
William Glasser
We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.
William Glasser
The answer lies in preventing these failures, not in looking for better ways to fix the people who are failing.
William Glasser
Without pay, no human being will work up to their ability if he or she is not cared for and respected.
William Glasser
Don't marry someone you would not be friends with if there was no sex between you.
William Glasser
Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.
William Glasser
We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to.
