I have discovered the missing link between the anthropoid apes and civilized men. It's us!

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.

We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.

When all you own is a hammer, every problem starts looking like a nail.

We fear our highest possibility. We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments.

Innocence can be redefined and called stupidity. Honesty can be called gullibility. Candor becomes lack of common sense. Interest in your work can be called cowardice. Generosity can be called soft-headedness, and observe : the former is disturbing

To make the growth choice instead of the fear choice a dozen times a day is to move a dozen times a day towards self-actualisation.
