The world is a better place to live in because it contains human beings who will give up ease and security and stake their own lives in order to do what they themselves think worth doing.

About This Quote

M. Scott Peck, an American psychiatrist, said that the world is a better place to live in because it contains human beings who will give up ease and security and stake their own lives in order to do what they themselves think worth doing. He also said that human beings are not perfectible. We are not always going to make the right decisions, but we are capable of making unexpected decisions which are sometimes very good ones.
