"If one does not understand a person,..." - Quote by Carl Jung

“In studying the history of the human mind one is impressed again and again by the fact that its growth keeps pace with a widening range of consciousness, and that each step forward is an extremely painful and laborious achievement. One could almost say that nothing is more hateful to man than to give up the smallest particle of unconsciousness. He has a profound fear of the unknown. Ask anybody who has ever tried to introduce new ideas!”

“The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.”

“In the second half of life the necessity is imposed of recognizing no longer the validity of our former ideals but of their contraries. Of perceiving the error in what was previously our conviction, of sensing the untruth in what was our truth, and of weighing the degree of opposition, and even of hostility, in what we took to be love.”

“To truly lead one's people, one must also truly know them.”

“I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women.”

“Trusting that you will some time or other do me greater justice than you can do now.”

“And your defect is a propensity to hate everybody." "And yours," he replied with a smile, "is willfully to misunderstand them.”

“A man's acts are usually right, but his reasons seldom are.”

“To have a right estimate of a man's character, we must see him in misfortune.”
