“It isn't normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Every age but ours has had its model, its ideal. All of these have been given up by our culture; the saint, the hero, the gentleman, the knight, the mystic. About all we have left is the well-adjusted man without problems, a very pale and doubtful substitute.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“You must want to be first-class …meaning the best, the very best you are capable of becoming. If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life. You will be evading your own capacities, your own possibilities.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Nobody ever saw a dog make a fair and deliberate exchange of one bone for another with another dog. Nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures and natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that yours; I am willing to give this for that....But man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only. He will be more likely to prevail if he can interest their self-love in his favour, and show them that it is for their own advantage to do for him what he requires of them. Whoever offers to another a bargain of any kind, proposes to do this. Give me that which I want, and you shall have this which you want, is the meaning of every such offer; and it is in this manner that we obtain from one another the far greater part of those good offices which we stand in need of.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“The north wind and the sun were disputing which was the stronger, and agreed to acknowledge as the victor whichever of them could strip a traveler of his clothing. The wind tried first. But its violent gusts only made the man hold his clothes tightly around him, and when it blew harder still the cold made him so uncomfortable that he put on an extra wrap. Eventually the wind got tired of it and handed him over to the sun. The sun shone first with moderate warmth, which made the man take off his topcoat. Then it blazed fiercely, till, unable to stand the heat, he stripped and went off to a bathe in a nearby river. Persuasion is more effective than force. ”
Quote by -Aesop
“and consequently you are destroyed; while we, on the contrary, bend before the least breath of air, and therefore remain unbroken.”
Quote by -Aesop
“To be more safe, they at length become willing to run the risk of being less free.”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
The sun had become a light yellow yolk and was walking with red legs across the sky.
Quote by -Zora Neale Hurston
And I will look down and see my murmuring bones and the deep water like wind, like a roof of wind, and after a long time they cannot distinguish even bones upon the lonely and inviolate sand.
Quote by -William Faulkner
Somewhere, deep within her, surfaces a tiny clockwork submarine. There are times when you can only take the next step. And then another.
Quote by -William Gibson
The Problem is never the problem! It is only a symptom of something much deeper.
Quote by -Virginia Satir
The light of truth burns without a flicker in the depths of a house that is shaken with storms of passion and fear.
Quote by -Thomas Merton
The deepest of level of communication is not communication, but communion. It is wordless ... beyond speech ... beyond concept.
Quote by -Thomas Merton
We must make the choices that enable us to fulfill the deepest capacities of our real selves.
Quote by -Thomas Merton
We keep to our usual stuff, more or less, only inside out. We do on stage the things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit being an entrance somewhere else.
Quote by -Tom Stoppard
The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.
Quote by -Sally
A sigh isn't just a sigh. We inhale the world and breathe out meaning. While we can. While we can.
Quote by -Salman Rushdie
Deep thinking is attainable only by a man of deep feeling, and all truth is a species of revelation
Quote by -Samuel Taylor Coleridge
