Maturity is achieved when a person accepts life as full of tension.

Nature does not demand that we be perfect. It requires only that we grow.

Self-understanding rather than self-condemnation is the way to inner peace and mature conscience.

Stripped of all their masquerades, the fears of men are quite identical: the fear of loneliness, rejection, inferiority, unmanageable anger, illness and death.

The primary joy of life is acceptance, approval, the sense of appreciation and companionship of our human comrades. Many men do not understand that the need for fellowship is really as deep as the need for food, and so they go through life accepting many substitutes for genuine, warm, simple.
