If you wish to educate a child who has gone wrong, then you must, above all, keep your attention fixed on the intersection of two charmed circles.

Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

It is well known that those who do not trust themselves never trust others.

All failures - neurotics, psychotics, criminals, drunkards, problem children, suicides, perverts, and prostitutes - are failures because they are lacking in social interest

Far more unwaveringly, the neurotic keeps before his eye his God, his idol, his ideal of personality and clings to his guiding principle, losing sight in the meanwhile of reality, whereas the normal person is always ready to dispense with this crutch, this aid, and reckon unhampered with reality.

There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.

The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, with the truth.
