I saw one of the absolute truths of this world: each person is worrying about himself; no one is worrying about you. He or she is worrying about whether you like him, not whether he likes you. He is worrying about whether he looks prepossessing, not whether you are dressed correctly. He is worrying about whether he appears poised, not whether you are. He is worrying about whether you think well of him, not whether he thinks well of you. The way to be yourself ... is to forget yourself.

In order to plan your future wisely, it is necessary that you understand and appreciate your past.

Every life is a dilemma that must be solved by the person living it.

Operating in an unlit world, the unconscious mind is a brilliant detective.

It is one of those quirks of human nature that you love the person whom you treat well, not necessarily the person who treats you well.

We find what we expect to find. We do not see the world as it is but as we are.

It takes an enormous amount of energy, creative energy withdrawn from the total economy of the person, to hold a trait underground, and, unfortunately, needs and drives do not go underground alone; they carry with them useful parts of the personality, depriving it of richness and the possibility of a variety of response.
