No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being until he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.

Viktor E. FranklYou 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!
Viktor E. FranklSelf-actualization cannot be attained if it is made an end in itself, but only as a side effect of self-transcendence.
Viktor E. FranklSuccess, like happiness, is the unexpected side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.
