It is here that we encounter the central theme of existentialism: to live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.

More Quotes by Viktor Frankl
Success, like happiness, is the unexpected side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.
The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing
The one thing you can't take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me.
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.
Every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.
Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.
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 personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run — in the long run, I say — success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.
In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.
