More quotes by Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
Fear may come true that which one is afraid of.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is not freedom from conditions, but it is freedom to take a stand toward the conditions.
Viktor E. Frankl
Man can only find meaning for his existence in something outside himself.
Viktor E. Frankl
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
A life of short duration...could be so rich in joy and love that it could contain more meaning than a life lasting eighty years.
Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl
The last freedom is choosing your attitude.
Viktor E. Frankl
Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.
Viktor E. Frankl
View your life from your funeral, looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn't? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what you wouldn't
Viktor E. Frankl
For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.
Viktor E. Frankl
The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude especially an attitude of gratitude in a given set of circumstances especially in difficult circumstances.
Viktor E. Frankl
If we take a man as he is, we make him worse, but if we take man as he should be we make him capable of becoming what he can be.
Viktor E. Frankl
Between stimulus and response is the freedom to choose.
Viktor E. Frankl
