M. Scott Peck Quote: “Integrity is never painless.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “There is no act of love that is not an act of work or courage. No exceptions.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Since the primary motive of the evil is disguise, one of the places evil people are most likely to be found is within the church. What better way to conceal one’s evil from oneself as well as from others than to be a deacon or some other highly visible form of Christian within our culture.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The difficulty we have in accepting responsibility for our behavior lies in the desire to avoid the pain of the consequences of that behavior.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The will to grow is, in essence, the same phenomenon as love. Genuinely loving people are, by definition, growing people.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The key to community is the acceptance, in fact the celebration of our individual and cultural differences. It is also the key to world peace.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The only real security in life lies in relishing life’s insecurity.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Often the most loving thing we can do when a friend is in pain is to share the pain-to be there even when we have nothing to offer except our presence and even when being there is painful to ourselves.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Discipline, it has been suggested, is the means of human spiritual evolution. What provides the motive, the energy for discipline? This force I believe to be love. I define love thus: The will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Falling in love is not an act of will. It is not a conscious choice. No matter how open to or eager for it we may be, the experience may still elude us. Contrarily, the experience may capture us at times when we are definitely not seeking it, when it is inconvenient and undesirable.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Listening well is an exercise of attention and by necessity hard work. It is because they do not realize this or because they are not willing to do the work that most people do not listen well.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Falling in love is not an extension of one’s limits or boundaries; it is a partial and temporary collapse of them.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The path to holiness lies through questioning everything.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Not only do self-love and love of others go hand in hand but ultimately they are indistinguishable.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Mental Health is dedication to reality at all costs.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “With total discipline we can solve all problems.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “We skim over the surface thoughtlessly. But we must acknowledge that thinking well is a time-consuming process. We can’t expect instant results. We have to slow down a bit, and take the time to contemplate, meditate, and even pray. It is the only route to a more meaningful and efficient existence.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “In and through community lies the salvation of the world.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “To the child, abandonment by its parents is the equivalent of death.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “We cannot be a source for strength unless we nurture our own strength.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Many addictions can be far more dangerous than addiction to drugs. The addiction to power...”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Evil people hate the light because it reveals themselves to themselves. They hate goodness because it reveals their badness; they hate love because it reveals their laziness. They will destroy the light, the goodness, the love in order to avoid the pain of such self-awareness.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Jesus was lonely and sorrowful and scared-an unbelievably real person.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Yet it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The major threats to our survival no longer stem from nature without but from our own human nature within. It is our carelessness, our hostilities, our selfishness and pride and willful ignorance that endanger the world.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The denial of suffering is, in fact a better definition of illness than its acceptance.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Without discipline we can solve nothing. With only some discipline we can solve only some problems. With total discipline we can solve all problems.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “I make no distinction between the mind and the spirit, and therefore no distinction between the process of achieving spiritual growth and achieving mental growth. They are one and the same.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “We cannot solve life’s problems except by solving them.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Everything that happens in life is there to aid our spiritual growth.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “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.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Self-discipline is a self-enlarging process.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The act of loving is an act of self-evolution even when the purpose of the act is someone else’s growth.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “A discussion becomes destructive when it begins to generate more heat than light.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Whenever we think of ourselves as doing something for someone else, we are in some way denying our own responsibility. Whatever we do is done because we choose to do it, and we make that choice because it is the one that satisfies us the most.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “It is our task-our essential, central, crucial task-to transform ourselves from mere social creatures into community creatures.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Pseudocommunity is conflict-avoiding: true community is conflict-resolving.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The principal form that the work of love takes is attention. When we love another person we give him or her our attention; we attend to that person’s growth.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “An unconscious, gentle process whereby people who want to be loving attempt to be so by telling little white lies, by withholding some of the truth about themselves and their feelings in order to avoid conflict. Pseudocommunity is conflict-avoiding; true community is conflict-resolving.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “When any institution becomes large and compartmentalized, with departments and subdepartments, then the conscience of the institution will often become so fragmented and diluted as to be virtually nonexistent, and the organization becomes inherently evil.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Our view of reality is like a map with which to negotiate the terrain of life. If the map is true and accurate, we will generally know how to get there. If the map is false and inaccurate, we generally will be lost.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “I have learned nothing in twenty years that would suggest that evil people can be rapidly influenced by any means other than raw power. They do not respond, at least in the short run, to either gentle kindness or any form of spiritual persuasion with which I am familiar.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “The neurotic assumes too much responsibility; the person with a character disorder not enough.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “If we deny our anger, our pain, our ambition, or our goodness, we will suffer.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “Love always requires courage and involves risk.”
M. Scott Peck Quote: “There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.”
