M. Scott Peck Quotes


"Be willing to go alone sometimes. You don't need permission to grow. Not everyone who started with you will finish with you." ~M. Scott Peck

"I define love thus: the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth." ~M. Scott Peck

"If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything." ~M. Scott Peck

"Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult — once we truly understand and accept it — then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters." ~M. Scott Peck

"Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity … Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom … true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis." ~M. Scott Peck

“Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth. Love is as love does. Love is an act of will- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.” ~M. Scott Peck (The Road Less Traveled)

"Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love." ~M. Scott Peck

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." ~M. Scott Peck

"Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you won't do anything with it." ~M. Scott Peck

"We have been looking for the burning bush, the parting of the sea, the bellowing voice from heaven. Instead we should be looking at the ordinary day-to-day events in our lives for evidence of the miraculous." ~M. Scott Peck

"We must be willing to fail and to appreciate the truth that often "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived." ~M. Scott Peck
