Viktor Frankl

In some way, suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.

Viktor Frankl

In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.

Viktor Frankl

Instead of possibilities, I have realities in my past, not only the reality of work done and of love loved, but of sufferings bravely suffered.

Viktor Frankl

It is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future.

Viktor Frankl

It isn’t the past which holds us back, it’s the future; and how we undermine it, today.

Viktor Frankl

Just as the small fire is extinguished by the storm while a large fire is enhanced by it – likewise a weak faith is weakened by predicaments and catastrophes whereas a strong faith is strengthened by them.

Viktor Frankl

Life asks of every individual a contribution, and it is up to that individual to discover what it should be.

Viktor Frankl

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

Viktor Frankl

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

Viktor Frankl

Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become in the next moment.
