Rollo May Quotes

Finding the center of strength within ourselves is in the long run the best contribution we can make to our fellow men. ...

This is what our society needs? not new ideas and inventions; important as these are, and not geniuses and supermen, but persons who can "be", that is, persons who have a center of strength within themselves.
