If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.

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.

It is not freedom from conditions, but it is freedom to take a stand toward the conditions.

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.

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

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."

No one can take away my freedom to choose how I will react.
