Yes, interesting talk (in "marvelous accent without the
slightest english" :-), he argues that we should treat
people as they want to be: "If we treat people as
they are, we make them worse. If we treat people
as they should to be, we help them become what they
are capable of becoming."
http://www.ted.com/talks/viktor_frankl_youth_in_search_of_meaning.htmlThe original quote from Goethe reads
"Wenn wir die Menschen nur nehmen wie sie sind, so
machen wir sie schlechter; wenn wir sie behandeln,
als wären sie, was sie sein sollten, so bringen wir
sie dahin, wohin sie zu bringen sind."
(J.W. Goethe, "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre")

I found this worth watching: a 4:22 talk from 1972, from Frankl, whose
vitality and conviction are inspirational.
