Quotes by M Scott Peck

The following are quotes from M Scott Peck:

Doubt is often the beginning of wisdom.

Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.

Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love.

Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit.

Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. Or something. I dunno, I was only half listening. Becca said it, anyway. Ask her.

You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.
