“A sense of a wider meaning to one's existence is what raises a man beyond mere getting and spending. If he lacks this sense, he is lost and miserable.”[1]

“If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.”[2]

“Love, work and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it.”[3]

“Giving maximum meaning to our lives should be one of the basic things that we demand of our work.”[4]

“It is the urge, which is evident in all organic and human life — to expand, extend, become autonomous, develop, mature — the tendency to express and activate all the capacities of the organism, to the extent that such activation enhances the organism or the self. This tendency may become deeply buried under layer after layer of encrusted psychological defenses; it maybe hidden behind elaborate facades which deny its existence; but it is my belief that it exists in every individual, and awaits only the proper conditions to be released and expressed.”[5]
