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

Viktor E. Frankl
No one can take away my freedom to choose how I will react.
Viktor E. Frankl
