Despair is suffering without meaning.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

It isn't the past which holds us back, it's the future; and how we undermine it, today.

Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.

Happiness must ensue. It cannot be pursued

We dislike talking about our experiences. No explanations are needed for those who have been inside, and the others will understand neither how we felt then nor how we feel now.

Ultimate freedom is a man's right to choose his attitude.
