11 QUOTES By Sigmund Freud That Will BLOW Your MIND

Sigmund Freud was one of the trailblazers of modern-day psychology. As the originator of Psychoanalysis, Freud distinguished himself as an intellectual giant. He pioneered new techniques for understanding human behavior, and his efforts resulted in the most comprehensive theory of personality and psychotherapy ever developed.

Sigmund Freud was a physiologist, medical doctor, psychologist and influential thinker of the early twentieth century. He created an entirely new approach to the understanding of the human personality. He is regarded as one of the most influential - and controversial - minds of the 20th century.

He developed revolutionary ideas about the unconscious mind, repression, the meaning of dreams and the clinical method of treatment through dialogue. Here you will find his greatest quotes that will blow your mind.

1. "The scope of one’s personality is defined by the magnitude of that problem which is capable of driving a person out of his wits".

2. "When people criticise me, I know how to defend myself. But I’m powerless in the face of praise".

3. “One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.”

4. “Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.”

5. “Where does a thought go when it's forgotten?” 

6. “Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all men's actions.” 

7. “The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming that which the wicked man does in actual life.” 

8. “When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature.” 

9. “Beauty has no obvious use; nor is there any clear cultural necessity for it. Yet civilization could not do without it.” 

10. “There are no mistakes” 

11. "One must learn to give up momentary, uncertain and destructive pleasure for delayed, restrained, but dependable pleasure".

2.) “Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.”

Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.”

How the Frog Saved his Life Inspite of being Demoralized

As a group of frogs was traveling through the woods, two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that they’re was no hope left for them.

However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded to try and jump out of the pit. Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up. That they would never make it out.

Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up, falling down to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.

He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?”

The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

Moral of the story: People’s words can have a big effect on other’s lives. Think about what you say before it comes out of your mouth. It might just be the difference between life and death.

But if people try to demoralize you, then you know what to do. Be deaf to them.
