"Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have."

"My liberty depends on you being free, too."

"A free spirit takes liberties even with liberty itself."

"You can either have individual liberty, or dependence on the government. One is designed to undo the other."

"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."

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.
