It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
Alfred Adler
Alfred Adler was one of those "I'd rather not" people I had to deal with as i was studying psychology. I never quite "got" him the way I did Freud, Jung, Horney, Rogers, Fromm, and Skinner. Nevertheless, I stumbled across this lovely statement that characterizes so much of day-to-day interaction here and elsewhere.
