The Attempt To Develop A Sense Of Humor And To See Things In A Humorous Light Is Some Kind Of A Trick Learned While Mastering The Art Of Living.

The Crowning Experience Of All, For The Homecoming Man, Is The Wonderful Feeling That, After All He Has Suffered, There Is Nothing He Need Fear Anymore—except His God.

For Success, Like Happiness, Cannot Be Pursued; It Must Ensue, And It Only Does So As The Unintended Side-effect Of One's Personal Dedication To A Cause Greater Than Oneself Or As The By-product Of One's Surrender To A Person Other Than Oneself.

A Human Being Is Not One Thing Among Others; Things Determine Each Other, But Man Is Ultimately Self-determining. What He Becomes - Within The Limits Of Endowment And Environment- He Has Made Out Of Himself. In The Concentration Camps, For Example, In This Living Laboratory And On This Testing Ground, We Watched And Witnessed Some Of Our Comrades Behave Like Swine While Others Behaved Like Saints. Man Has Both Potentialities Within Himself; Which One Is Actualized Depends On Decisions But Not On Conditions.

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