“Man’s inner strength may raise him above his outward fate.”

The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing

God is the partner of your most intimate soliloquies.

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

The salvation of man is through love and in love.

The salvation of man is through love and in love.

Man can only find meaning for his existence in something outside himself.

Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.

Nothing is likely to help a person overcome or endure troubles than the consciousness of having a task in life.

Each of us carries a unique spark of the divine, and each of us is also an inseparable part of the web of life.

Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.

In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.

A human being is not one thing among others; things determine each other, but man is ultimately self-determining.

An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.

So live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!

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

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.

You don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what’s written in the stars.

You are the Master of your Fate, the Captain of your Soul.

I’ve noticed that even people who believe in fate look both ways before crossing the street.

To keep our faces toward change, and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate, is strength undefeatable.

Just because Fate doesn’t deal you the right cards, it doesn’t mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.

Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates.

Men at some time are masters of their fates.

It is not every man’s fate to marry the woman who loves him best.
