Danh ngôn của Carl Jung (Sứ mệnh: 5)

Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.
Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.
The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
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.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
A 'scream' is always just that - a noise and not music.
The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable.
Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.
Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.
Man is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind.
Just as we might take Darwin as an example of the normal extraverted thinking type, the normal introverted thinking type could be represented by Kant. The one speaks with facts, the other relies on the subjective factor. Darwin ranges over the wide field of objective reality, Kant restricts himself to a critique of knowledge.
We shall probably get nearest to the truth if we think of the conscious and personal psyche as resting upon the broad basis of an inherited and universal psychic disposition which is as such unconscious, and that our personal psyche bears the same relation to the collective psyche as the individual to society.
A human being would certainly not grow to be seventy or eighty years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life's morning.
Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?
Grounded in the natural philosophy of the Middle Ages, alchemy formed a bridge: on the one hand into the past, to Gnosticism, and on the other into the future, to the modern psychology of the unconscious.
