The salvation of man is through love and in love.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Man’s main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Our greatest human freedom is that, despite whatever our physical situation is in life, WE ARE ALWAYS FREE TO CHOOSE OUR THOUGHTS!
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose ones attitude in any given circumstance.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
You can take away my wife, you can take away my children, you can strip me of my clothes and my freedom, but there is one thing no person can ever take away from me - and that is my freedom to choose how I will react to what happens to me!
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
And I quoted from Nietzsche: That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.

Success is total self-acceptance.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Our attitude towards what has happened to us in life is the important thing to recognize. Once hopeless, my life is now hope-full, but it did not happen overnight. The last of human freedoms, to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, is to choose one's own way.

If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
What is to give light must endure burning.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Between stimulus and response is the freedom to choose.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
What is demanded of man is not, as some existential philosophers teach, to endure the meaninglessness of life, but rather to bear his incapacity to grasp its unconditional meaningfulness in rational terms.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
We had to learn...that it did not really matter what we expected from life but rather what life expected from us.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
[Speaking of his experience in a concentration camp:] As we said before, any attempt to restore a man's inner strength in the camp had first to succeed in showing him some future goal...Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on. He was soon lost.
