Inspirational Quotations by Carl Gustav Jung
- It all depends on how we look at things,
and not on how they are themselves.
- Where love rules, there is no will to power;
and where power predominates, there love is lacking.
The one is the shadow of the other.
- Man is never helped in his suffering by what he thinks for
himself, but only by revelation of a wisdom greater than his
own. It is this which lifts him out of his distress.
- The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and
most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that
primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego
and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.
- The creative mind plays with the object it loves.
- Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves.
But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still,
small voice says to us, something is out of tune.
- A criminal becomes a popular figure because he unburdens in no small degree the consciences of his fellow man, for now they know once more where evil is to be found.
- We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.
