Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.

I never would have made it if I could not have laughed. It lifted me momentarily out of this horrible situation, just enough to make it livable.

Usually, to be sure, man considers only the stubble field of transitoriness and overlooks the full granaries of the past, wherein he had salvaged once and for all his deeds, his joys and also his sufferings. Nothing can be undone, and nothing can be done away with. I should say having been is the surest kind of being.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude.

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

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.
