We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.

Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.

Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship.

What students lack in school is an intellectual relationship or conversation with the teacher.

Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, or perhaps later in life, yes when we should say no.

We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.

Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.

We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.

The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior.

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
