More quotes by Viktor E. Frankl
Set me like a seal upon thy heart, love is as strong as death.
Viktor E. Frankl
Just as a small fire is extinguished by the storm whereas a large fire is enhanced by it - likewise a weak faith is weakened by predicament and catastrophes whereas a strong faith is strengthened by them.
Viktor E. Frankl
These tasks, and therefore the meaning of life, differ from man to man, and from moment to moment. Thus it is impossible to define the meaning in life in a general way.
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
Every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.
Viktor E. Frankl
What you have experienced, no power on earth can take from you.
Viktor E. Frankl
Ultimate freedom is a man's right to choose his attitude.
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
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
Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.
Viktor E. Frankl
One can choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.
Viktor E. Frankl
The last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
Viktor E. Frankl
Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude.
Viktor E. Frankl
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
We cannot, after all, judge a biography by its length, by the number of pages in it we must judge by the richness of the contents...Sometimes the 'unfinisheds' are among the most beautiful symphonies.
Viktor E. Frankl
Life asks of every individual a contribution, and it is up to that individual to discover what it should be
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
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
The meaning of our existence is not invented by ourselves, but rather detected.
Viktor E. Frankl
Instead of possibilities, I have realities in my past, not only the reality of work done and of love loved, but of sufferings bravely suffered. These sufferings are even the things of which I am most proud, though these are things which cannot inspire envy.
Viktor E. Frankl
