It Would Not Be Going Too Far

To Experience Conflicts Knowingly, Though It May Be Distressing, Can Be An Invaluable Asset. The More We Face Our Own Conflicts And Seek Out Our Own Solutions, The More Inner Freedom And Strength We Will Gain. Only When We Are Willing To Bear The Brunt Can We Approximate The Ideal Of Being The Captain Of Our Ship. Spurious Tranquillity Rooted In Inner Dullness Is Anything But Enviable. It Is Bound To Make Us Weak And An Easy Prey To Any Kind Of Influence.

We May Feel Genuinely Concerned About World Conditions, Though Such A Concern Should Drive Us Into Action And Not Into A Depression.

To Find A Mountain Path All By Oneself Gives A Greater Feeling Of Strength Than To Take A Path That Is Shown.

The Most Comprehensive Formulation Of Therapeutic Goals Is The Striving For Wholeheartedness: To Be Without Pretense, To Be Emotionally Sincere, To Be Able To Put The Whole Of Oneself Into One's Feelings, One's Work, One's Beliefs.

Life As A Therapist Is Ruthless; Circumstances That Are Helpful To One Neurotic May Crush Another.
