Viktor Frankl

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… as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a course greater than oneself.

Viktor Frankl

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.

Viktor Frankl

Each of us has his own inner concentration camp… We must deal with, with forgiveness and patience-as full human beings, as we are and what we will become.

Viktor Frankl

For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.

Viktor Frankl

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

Viktor Frankl

I never would have made it if I could not have laughed. It lifted me momentarily out of this horrible situation, just enough to make it livable.

Viktor Frankl

I try to do everything as soon as possible, and not at the last moment. This ensures that, when I am overburdened with work, I will not face the added pressure of knowing that something is still to be done.

Viktor Frankl

If one cannot change a situation that causes his suffering, he can still choose his attitude.

Viktor Frankl

If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering.

Viktor Frankl

If you treat people to a vision of themselves, if you apparently overrate them, you make them become what they are capable of becoming.
