More quotes by Viktor E. Frankl
At such a moment, it is not the physical pain which hurts the most (and this applies to adults as much as to punished children) it is the mental agony caused by the injustice, the unreasonableness of it all.
Viktor E. Frankl
In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.
Viktor E. Frankl
Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on.
Viktor E. Frankl
I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run- in the long run, I say! - success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.
Viktor E. Frankl
Even when it is not fully attained, we become better by striving for a higher goal.
Viktor E. Frankl
What you have experienced, no power on earth can take from you.
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
...to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life-daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct.
Viktor E. Frankl
Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features.
Viktor E. Frankl
Such a value system might be responsible for the fact that the burden of unavoidable unhappiness is increased by unhappiness about being unhappy.
Viktor E. Frankl
Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become the next moment. By the same token, every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.
Viktor E. Frankl
No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.
Viktor E. Frankl
No one can take from us the ability to choose our attitudes toward the circumstances in which we find ourselves. This is the last of human freedoms.
Viktor E. Frankl
One can choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.
Viktor E. Frankl
Man's inner strength may raise him above his outward fate.
Viktor E. Frankl
Logotherapy . . . considers man as a being whose main concern consists in fulfilling a meaning and in actualizing values, rather than in the mere gratification and satisfaction of drives and instincts.
Viktor E. Frankl
Nothing is likely to help a person overcome or endure troubles than the consciousness of having a task in life.
Viktor E. Frankl
There are two races of men in this world but only these two: the race of the decent man and the race of the indecent man.
Viktor E. Frankl
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
Viktor E. Frankl
If architects want to strengthen a decrepit arch, they increase the load which is laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together. So if therapists wish to foster their patients' mental health, they should not be afraid to increase that load through a reorientation toward the meaning of one's life.
