“Perhaps adjustment and stabilization, while good because it cuts your pain, is also bad because development towards a higher ideal ceases?”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Obviously the most beautiful fate, the most wonderful good fortune that can happen to any human being, is to be paid for doing that which he passionately loves to do.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“I believe that another task which needs doing before we can have a good world is the development of a humanistic and transpersonal psychology of evil, one written out of compassion and love for human nature rather than out of disgust with it or out of hopelessness.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Descriptively, we can see in each person his own (weak) tendencies to grow toward self-actualization; and also descriptively, we can see his various (weak) tendencies toward regressing (out of fear, hostility, or laziness). [...] if a person could himself see all the likely consequences of growth and all the likely consequences of coasting or of regression, and if he were allowed to choose between them, he would always (in principle, and under 'good conditions') choose the consequences of growth and reject the consequences of regression. That is, the more one knows of the actual consequences of growth-choices and regression-choices, the more attractive become the growth-choices to practically any human being. And these are the actual choices he is prone to make if conditions are good, i.e., if he is allowed truly free choice so that his organism can express its own nature.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“In a word if you tell me you have a personality problem I am not certain until I know you better whether to say "Good!" or "I'm sorry." It depends on the reasons. And these, it seems, may be good reasons, or they may be good reasons.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“If swindling pays, then it will not stop. [...] you cannot have a good society unless virtue pays.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“When by an increase in the effectual demand, the market price of some particular commodity happens to rise a good deal above the natural price, those who employ their stocks in supplying that market are generally careful to conceal this change.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“There can be no good fable with human beings in it. There can be no good fairy tale without them.”
Quote by -Aesop
“Your words, O Hares! are good; but they lack both claws and teeth such as we have.”
Quote by -Aesop
“Hard words are very rarely useful. Real firmness is good for every thing. Strut is good for nothing.”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
“I am not a very good man, Effie, but I think that I am a better one than you have given me credit for being.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
I write a good amount. I've been gathering up a backlog of stuff and maybe I'll do something with it someday, but I don't want to talk about it just yet because that would jinx it.
Quote by -Macaulay Culkin
To use a horse to show that a horse is not a horse is not as good as using a non-horse to show that a horse is not a horse...
Quote by -Zhuangzi
In this world goodness is destined to be defeated. But a man must go down fighting. That is the victory. To do anything less is to be less than a man.
Quote by -Walker Percy

Quote by -Walter Benjamin
He never complained. He seemed to have no instinct for the making much of oneself that complaining requires.
Quote by -Wendell Berry

Quote by -William Gibson
