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

Life asks of every individual a contribution, and it is up to that individual to discover what it should be.

For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.

No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.

Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.

The more one forgets one’s own self, the more human the person becomes.

When a man cannot find meaning, he numbs himself with pleasure.

What is to give light must endure burning.

The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me.

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

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

Even when it is not fully attained, we become better by striving for a higher goal.

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.

You don’t create your mission in life – you detect it.

The point is not what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us.

To suffer unecessarily is masochistic rather than heroic.

Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment.

Obviously, the highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize existing material to the best advantage.

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

Differences will always exist, but division doesn’t always have to result.

A man must not be without shame, for the shame of being without shame is shamelessness indeed.

Does not Eternity appear dreadful to you. I often get to thinking of it and it seems so dark to me that I almost wish there was no Eternity. To think that we must forever live and never cease to be. It seems as if Death would be a relief to so endless a state of existence.

May God remind us daily-no matter what kind of obstacles we face-that we are loved and empowered by the One who brought the universe into existence with the mere sound of His voice. Nothing is impossible for Him.

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.

What this power is, I cannot say All I know is that it exists.
