"Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences."
"At the advent of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the human heart: one very reasonably invites a man to consider the nature of the peril and the means of escaping it; the other, with a still greater show of reason, argues that it is too depressing and painful to think of the danger since it is not in man's power to foresee everything and avert the general march of events, and it is better therefore to shut one's eyes to the disagreeable until it actually comes, and to think instead of what is pleasant. When a man is alone he generally listens to the first voice; in the company of his fellow-men, to the second."
"There lay between them, separating them, that same terrible line of the unknown and of fear, like the line separating the living from the dead."
"A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man."
"There is a kind of fear, approaching a panic, that's spreading through the Baby Boom Generation, which has suddenly discovered that it will have to provide for its own retirement."
"Fear is a good thing. It mean you're paying attention."
"The only reason for your intimidation by the devil, and your being afraid of him, or what he can do is because you are living in ignorance (darkness) which is his territory."

"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."
