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.

More quotes by Viktor E. Frankl
Man's last freedom is his freedom to choose how he will react in any given situation
Viktor E. Frankl
Fundamentally, therefore, any man can, even under such circumstances, decide what shall become of him—mentally and spiritually. He may retain his human dignity even in a concentration camp.
Viktor E. Frankl
Human kindness can be found in all groups, even those which as a whole it would be easy to condemn.
Viktor E. Frankl
Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude.
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
To suffer unecessarily is masochistic rather than heroic.
Viktor E. Frankl
Usually, to be sure, man considers only the stubble field of transitoriness and overlooks the full granaries of the past, wherein he had salvaged once and for all his deeds, his joys and also his sufferings. Nothing can be undone, and nothing can be done away with. I should say having been is the surest kind of being.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future.
Viktor E. Frankl
When we are not any lengthier capable to alter a predicament, we're challenged to alter ourselves
Viktor E. Frankl
Man is capable of changing the world for the better if possible, and of changing himself for the better if necessary.
Viktor E. Frankl
Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in its spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.
Viktor E. Frankl
In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is this spiritual freedom - which cannot be taken away - that makes life meaningful and purposeful.
Viktor E. Frankl
Life requires of man spiritual elasticity, so that he may temper his efforts to the chances that are offered.
Viktor E. Frankl
How can we dare to predict the behavior of man? We may predict the movements of a machine, of an automaton more than this, we many even try to predict the mechanisms or dynamisms of the human psyche as well. But man is more than psyche.
Viktor E. Frankl
Love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.
Viktor E. Frankl
Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life.
Viktor E. Frankl
When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.
Viktor E. Frankl
Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved.
Viktor E. Frankl
Man's search for meaning is the chief motivation of his life.
Viktor E. Frankl
