Nathaniel Branden

"The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance."

"Productive achievement is a consequence and an expression of health and self-esteem, not its cause."

"In a world in which the total of human knowledge is doubling about every ten years, our security can rest only on our ability to learn."

"There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity."

"Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss."
