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

Man’s main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life.

This is the core of the human spirit ... If we can find something to live for - if we can find some meaning to put at the center of our lives - even the worst kind of suffering becomes bearable.

Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.

Sports allow men to build up situations of emergency. What he then demands of himself is unnecessary achievement - and unnecessary sacrifice. He artificially creates the tension that he has been spared by affluent society.

When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.
