Carl Gustav Jung Man Quotations

The only thing we have to fear on the planet is man

In the end, man is an event which cannot judge itself, but, for better or worse, is left to the judgment of others.

The Christian West considers man to be wholly dependent upon the grace of God, or at least upon the Church as the exclusive and divinely sanctioned earthly instrument of man's redemption. The East (India), however, insists that man is the sole cause of his higher development, for it believes in "self- liberation.

An old man who cannot bid farewell to life appears as feeble and sickly as a young man who is unable to embrace it.

The life of man is a dubious experiment. It is a tremendous phenomenon only in numerical terms. Individually, it is so fleeting, so insufficient, that it is literally a miracle that anything can exist and develop at all.
