"Everything can be taken from a man or a woman 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"

- Viktor E. Frankl

About this Quote

This quote by Viktor E. Frankl speaks with the power of choice and the flexibility of the individual to pick their attitude in any provided scenario. It suggests that no matter what life throws at us, we have the power to choose how we respond. We can pick to be positive and confident, or we can select to be negative and downhearted. We can choose to be durable and determined, or we can pick to quit. We can choose to be kind and compassionate, or we can pick to be harsh and unkind. Eventually, we have the power to choose our mindset and our own method, no matter what life throws at us. This is the last of human freedoms, and it is something that no one can take away from us.
