Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.

One cannot choose wisely for a life unless he dares to listen to himself, his own self, at each moment of his life.

Life could be vastly improved if we could count our blessings as self-actualizing people can and do, and if we could retain their constant sense of good fortune and gratitude for it.

The most stable, and therefore, the most healthy self-esteem is based on deserved respect from others rather than on external fame or celebrity and unwarranted adulation.

Self-actualizing people must be what they can be.

Quitting smoking can be a very good test of ones character. Pass the test and you will have accomplished so much more than just get rid of one bad habit

Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.
