Only the flexibly creative person can really manage the future, Only the one who can face novelty with confidence and without fear.

A person who makes full use of and exploits his talents, potentialities, and capacities. Such a person seems to be fulfilling himself and doing the best he is capable of doing. The self-actualized person must find in his life those qualities that make his living rich and rewarding. He must find meaningfulness, self-sufficiency, effortlessness, playfulness, richness, simplicity, completion, necessity, perfection, individuality, beauty, and truth.

The spiritual life is part of the human essence. It is a defining characteristic of human nature, without which human nature is not fully human.

What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualizat ion.

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

I may say that B-love, in a profound but testable sense, creates the partner. It gives him a self-image, it gives him self- acceptance, a feeling of love-worthiness, all of which permit him to grow. It is a real question whether the full development of the human being is possible without it.

In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become.
