Quote by -Carol Burnett

“Het is niet normaal om te weten wat we willen. Dat is een enorme en uitzonderlijke psychologische prestatie.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Knowledge and action are very closely bound together, all agree. I go much further, and am convinced that knowledge and action are frequently synonymous, even identical in the Socratic fashion. Where we know fully and completely, suitable action follows automatically and reflexly. Choices are then made without conflict and with full spontaneity.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Orthodox science today attempts to be free not only of values but also of emotions. As youngsters would say, it tries to be "cool".”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Motivation theory is not synonymous with behavior theory. The motivations are only one class of determinants of behavior. While behavior is almost always motivated, it is also almost always biologically, culturally and situationally determined as well.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Thwarting of unimportant desires produces no psychopathological results; thwarting of a basically important need does produce such results. Any theory of psychopathogenesis must then be based on a sound theory of motivation. A conflict or a frustration is not necessarily pathogenic. It becomes so only when it threatens or thwarts the basic needs, or partial needs that are closely related to the basic needs (10).”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“The first thing you have to know is yourself. A man who knows himself can step outside himself and watch his own reactions like an observer.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“All men are more concerned to recover what they lose than to acquire what they lack.”
Quote by -Aesop
“The nations of our time cannot prevent the conditions of men from becoming equal; but it depends upon themselves whether the principle of equality is to lead them to servitude or freedom, to knowledge or barbarism, to prosperity or to wretchedness.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
