Man Does Not Simply Exist But Always

Sleep [is Like] A Dove Which Has Landed Near One's Hand And Stays There As Long As One Does Not Pay Any Attention To It.

When A Man Finds That It Is His Destiny To Suffer, He Will Have To Accept His Suffering As His Task. . . . He Will Have To Acknowledge The Fact That Even In Suffering He Is Unique And Alone In The Universe. No One Can Relieve Him Of His Suffering Or Suffer In His Place. His Unique Opportunity Lies In The Way In Which He Bears His Burden.

To Suffer Unecessarily Is Masochistic Rather Than Heroic.

Our Greatest Human Freedom Is That, Despite Whatever Our Physical Situation Is In Life, We Are Always Free To Choose Our Thoughts!

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.
