What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.

All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil.

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

There seems no intrinsic reason why everyone shouldn't be (self-actualising). Apparently every baby has possibilities for self-actualisation, but most get it knocked out of them ...I think of the self-actualising man not as an ordinary man with something added, but rather as the ordinary man with nothing taken away.

Every person is, in part, 'his own project' and makes himself.

The chicken came first - God would look silly sitting on an egg.

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