Carl Jung quotes about
Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.
The whole point of Jesus's life was not that we should become exactly like him, but that we should become ourselves in the same way he became himself. Jesus was not the great exception but the great example.
Conflict exists strictly as an opportunity to raise our consciousness.
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research.
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.

To be normal is the ultimate aim of the unsuccessful.
Learn your theories as well as you can, but put them aside when you touch the miracle of the living soul
