Art of Wisdom
Carl Gustav Jung
Carl Gustav Jung
“Thinking is a difficult art. That's why the majority follows the herd.”
“I am not the sum of things that happen to me, I am who I choose to be.”
“One's restlessness, unhappiness, tension, boredom, depression are important friends who try to wake him up.”
“No one is perfect enough to judge another person. But some are so presumptuous as to think they have the right to do so.”
“Where wisdom reigns, there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.”
“There is a child lurking inside every adult, an eternal child who is always there, never complete, and who demands constant attention, care and education. It is this child part of the human personality that wants to develop and become whole.”
“What makes us uncomfortable in others allows us to recognize ourselves.”
“The saddest thing in life is when a person cannot see that the problem lies with himself.”
“A person who is not aware of his subconscious thinks that whatever happens to him is fate.”
“A person becomes himself by transcending himself.”
“If you hold on to someone who is leaving, you cannot talk to the newcomer.”
“What did you do as a child that made hours pass like minutes? Herein lies the key to your worldly pursuits.”
“Knowledge is based not only on truth, but also on delusion.”
“Life really begins at forty. Until then, you only do research.”
“Middle age is the time to let go of an over-dominant ego and think about the deeper significance of human existence.”
“One becomes enlightened not by imagining the light, but by becoming conscious of the darkness. What are you most afraid of: being cheated on, being alone, not being loved? Take off your mask. Find it. Wherever your fear is, there is your mission.”
“Until you transform your subconscious into consciousness, it will guide your life and you will call it 'destiny'.”
“People always tend to blame it on external forces, but what doesn't exist cannot be mobilized.”
“Depression is like a woman in black. If it appears, don't push it away. Invite her in, treat her like a guest and listen to what she has to say.”
“We are not what happens to us, but what we choose to be.”
“An unlived life is a disease so severe that it can destroy a person.”
“The key to seeing the true colors of others is to recognize our own weaknesses, fears and repressed emotions. If you discover your own darkness, you can easily deal with the darkness of others.”
“Do not compare, do not compare. No other path is yours. All other paths deceive and tempt you. You must follow the path of your soul.”
“Every human life contains a potential, if that potential is not fulfilled, then that life is wasted.”
“People always tend to blame the fault on external forces, but what does not exist cannot be set in motion.”
“An individual who is not connected to God cannot resist the physical and moral temptations of the world with his own resources.”
“Man is what he does, not what he says he will do.”
“We are born at a particular time, in a particular place, and like the old vintages, we have the characteristics of the year and season in which we are born.”
“To be enlightened, we need to recognize the darkness, not visualize the light.”
“One can endure the most difficult trials if one sees meaning in them.”
“A healthy person does not torture others; it is usually those who have been tortured who become torturers.”
“Man needs difficulties, they are important for health.”
“All our knowledge is the product of our perceptions. For he who knows nothing cannot love anything. But the one who understands loves, cares, sees.”
“If you are unhappy, you are very high in your mind.”
“The privilege of a life is to be who you really are.”
“Even a happy life cannot be without some darkness and the word happy loses its meaning if it is not balanced by sadness.”
“The shoe that fits one person's foot will fit another's, there is no one-size-fits-all prescription for living.”
