Here lies the chance for a man either to make use of or to forgo the opportunities of attaining the moral values that a difficult situation may afford him. And this decides whether he is worthy of his sufferings or not.

The meaning of my life is to help others find meaning in theirs.

Happiness must ensue. It cannot be pursued

You can take away my wife, you can take away my children, you can strip me of my clothes and my freedom, but there is one thing no person can ever take away from me - and that is my freedom to choose how I will react to what happens to me!

...to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life-daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct.

The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing

A man who could not see the end of his"provisional existence" was not able to aim at an ultimate goal in life.
