The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.

Self-actualizing people have a deep feeling of identification, sympathy, and affection for human beings in general. They feel kinship and connection, as if all people were members of a single family.

Love, safety, belongingness and respect from other people are almost panaceas for the situational disturbances and even for some of the mild character disturbances.

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

We fear our highest possibilities. We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments, under conditions of great courage. We enjoy and even thrill to godlike possibilities we see in ourselves in such peak moments. And yet we simultaneously shiver with weakness, awe, and fear before these very same possibilities.

The human being is so constructed that he pressed toward fuller and fuller being.

Getting used to our blessings is one of the most important non-evil generators of human evil, tragedy and suffering.
