The growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and...each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement.
When one is not understood one should as a rule lower one's voice, because when one really speaks loudly enough and is not heard, it is because people do not want to hear. One had better begin to mutter to oneself, then they get curious.
When goals go, meaning goes. When meaning goes, purpose goes. When purpose goes, life goes dead on our hands.
So the lion is the law-breaker. Just as to the primitive man the lion is the lawbreaker, the great nuisance, dangerous to human beings and to animals, that breaks into the Kraal at night and fetches the bull out of the herd: he is the destructive instinct.
The self is our life's goal, for it is the completest expression of that fateful combination we call individuality.
Everything psychic is pregnant with the future.
A collection of a hundred great brains makes one big fathead.
Fortunately, in her kindness and patience, Nature has never put the fatal question as to the meaning of their lives into the mouths of most people. And where no one asks, no one needs to answer.
The ability to ask questions is the greatest resource in learning the truth.
The man who speaks with primordial images, speaks with a thousand tongues.
Only the wounded physician heals.
Nothing is possible without love.
The greatest sin is to be unconscious.
In each of us there is another whom we do not know.
