Pain from problems and disappointments, etc., is inevitable in life, but suffering is a choice determined by whether you choose to compare your experience and pain to something better and therefore feel unlucky and bitter or to something worse and therefore feel lucky and grateful!

For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.

For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one’s predicament into a human achievement.

It is not freedom from conditions, but it is freedom to take a stand toward the conditions.

Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on.

The last freedom is choosing your attitude.

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.
