What is courage? Courage is the willingness to risk failure...There is only one danger I find in life, and that, indeed, is a real one. You may take too many precautions.

It is from among such individuals that all human failures spring.

All failures - neurotics, psychotics, criminals, drunkards, problem children, suicides, perverts, and prostitutes - are failures because they are lacking in social interest

Distorted history boasts of bellicose glory... and seduces the souls of boys to seek mystical bliss in bloodshed and in battles.

Alfred Adler 159 quotes

The striving for significance...

The striving for significance, this sense of yearning, always points out to us that all psychological phenomena contain a movement that starts from a feeling of inferiority and reach upward. The theory of Individual Psychology of psychological compensation states that the stronger the feeling of inferiority, the higher the goal for personal power.

Alfred Adler 159 quotes

In the company of friends, writers can discuss their books, economists the state of the economy, lawyers their latest cases, and businessmen their latest acquisitions, but mathematicians cannot discuss their mathematics at all. And the more profound their work, the less understandable it is.

Every pampered child becomes a hated child.... There is no greater evil than the pampering of children.

Alfred Adler 159 quotes

We are not determined by our ...

We are not determined by our experiences, but are self-determined by the meaning we give to them; and when we take particular experiences as the basis for our future life, we are almost certain to be misguided to some degree. Meanings are not determined by situations. We determine ourselves by the meanings we ascribe to situations.

seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.

Alfred Adler 159 quotes

Mathematics is pure language ...

Mathematics is pure language - the language of science. It is unique among languages in its ability to provide precise expression for every thought or concept that can be formulated in its terms.

Alfred Adler 159 quotes

There is no thing as a man wh...

There is no thing as a man who does not create mathematics and yet is a fine mathematics teacher. Textbooks, course material-these do not approach in importance the communication of what mathematics is really about, of where it is going, and of where it currently stands with respect to the specific branch of it being taught. What really matters is the communication of the spirit of mathematics. It is a spirit that is active rather than contemplative-a spirit of disciplined search for adventures of the intellect. Only as adventurer can really tell of adventures.

A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt as dangerous.

Alfred Adler 159 quotes

The self-bound individual always forgets that his self would be safeguarded better and automatically the more he prepares himself for the welfare of mankind, and that in this respect no limits are set for him.

The goal of the human soul is conquest, perfection, security, superiority.

Violence as a way of gaining ...

Violence as a way of gaining power... is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security.

Alfred Adler 159 quotes

The mathematical life of a mathematician is short. Work rarely improves after the age of twenty-five or thirty. If little has been accomplished by then, little will ever be accomplished.

It is very obvious that we are not influenced by "facts" but by our interpretation of the facts.
