"The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude in a given set of circumstances."
"Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible."
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
"The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her life. Frankl saw three possible sources for meaning: in work (doing something significant), in love (caring for another person), and in courage during difficult times. Suffering in and of itself is meaningless; we give our suffering meaning by the way in which we respond to it."
"Frankl approvingly quotes the words of Nietzsche: 'He who has a Why to live for can bear almost any How."
"Don't aim at success-the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself."
"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked."
