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

Despair is suffering without meaning.

Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.

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!

No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.

Man is capable of changing the world for the better if possible, and of changing himself for the better if necessary.

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