Here Lies The Chance For A Man

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.

Man Is Not Fully Conditioned And Determined But Rather Determines Himself Whether He Gives In To Conditions Or Stands Up To Them. In Other Words, Man Is Ultimately Self-determining. Man Does Not Simply Exist But Always Decides What His Existence Will Be, What He Will Become In The Next Moment.

In Some Ways Suffering Ceases To Be Suffering At The Moment It Finds A Meaning, Such As The Meaning Of A Sacrifice.

Once An Individual's Search For Meaning Is Successful, It Not Only Renders Him Happy But Also Gives Him The Capability To Cope With Suffering

Most Important, However, Is The Third Avenue To Meaning In Life: Even The Helpless Victim Of A Hopeless Situation, Facing A Fate He Cannot Change, May Rise Above Himself, May Grow Beyond Himself, And By So Doing Change Himself. He May Turn A Personal Tragedy Into A Triumph.
