M. Scott Peck quotes about
growing-up years ongoing
All my life I used to wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then, about seven years ago, I realized that I was never going to grow up--that growing is an ever ongoing process.
profound want superstitions
Human beings are poor examiners, subject to superstition, bias, prejudice, and a PROFOUND tendency to see what they want to see rather than what is really there.
integrity painless
Integrity is never painless.
problem road-less-traveled cutting-edge
Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and wisdom.
cute-love best-love sweet-love
Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.
relationship commitment loving-relationships
Commitment is inherent in any genuinely loving relationship.
agony community joy
When I am with a group of human beings committed to hanging in there through both the agony and the joy of community, I have a dim sense that I am participating in a phenomenon for which there is only one word...."glory."
growing-up fall successful
When we cling, often forever, to our old patterns of thinking and behaving, we fall to negotiate any crisis, to truly grow up, and to experience the joyful sense of rebirth that accompanies the successful transition into greater maturity.
leadership mean facts
Servant-leadership is more than a concept, it is a fact. Any great leader, by which I also mean an ethical leader of any group, will see herself or himself as a servant of that group and will act accordingly.
acts-of-love exception
There is no act of love that is not an act of work or courage. No exceptions.
love-you caring self
The feeling of being valuable is a cornerstone of self-discipline because when you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself- including things like using your time well. In this way, self-discipline is self-caring.
bitterness ends
There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.
soulmate acceptance differences
Share our similarities, celebrate our differences.
god dream voice
I've had all kinds of experiences with God in terms of revelation through a still, small voice or dreams or coincidences.
