Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.
Thurber, James

2.
Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. [Philippians 1:27]
Bible

4.
The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a century.
Craig Mary

5.
Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is.
Carmichael, Amy

6.
The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
Eliot, George

7.
How could there be any question of acquiring or possessing, when the one thing needful for a man is to become -- to be at last, and to die in the fullness of his being.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

8.
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
Hudgins, Ken

9.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
Moody, Dwight L.

10.
I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
Martyn, Henry

11.
It's not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted.
O'Connor, Mary

12.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

13.
Man becomes greater in proportion to knowing himself and his faculties. Let him become conscious of what he is and he will soon also learn what he should be.
Schelling, Felix E.

14.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.
For I say unto you in all sadness of conviction that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. Only when you have worked alone -- when you have felt around you are a black gulf of solitude more isolating than that which surrounds the dying man, and in hope and despair have trusted to your own unshaken will -- then only can you gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who knows that a hundred years after he is dead and forgotten men who have never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thought -- the subtle rapture of postponed power, which the world knows not because it has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army. And if this joy should not be yours, still it is only thus you can know that you have done what lay in you to do -- can say that you have lived, and be ready for the end.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

16.
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Morgan, Arthur E.

17.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

18.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

19.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

20.
Many good purposes lie in the churchyard.
Henry, Philip

21.
At a turbulent public meeting once I lost my temper and said some harsh and sarcastic things. The proposal I was supporting was promptly defeated. My father who was there, said nothing, but that night, on my pillow I found a marked passage from Aristotle: Anybody can become angry--that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way -- that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
Gordon, Arthur

22.
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
Shakespeare, William

23.
A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

24.
The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder -- waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.
Carlyle, Thomas

25.
A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
Allen, James

26.
The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.
Cousins, Norman

27.
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
Patanjali

28.
No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said, ?This is what is expected of you. But I?m lucky enough in the fact that I have found my role I love being with people.?
Diana, Princess of Wales

29.
The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with purpose.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

30.
For an athlete to function properly, he must be intent. There has to be a definite purpose and goal if you are to progress. If you are not intent about what you are doing, you aren't able to resist the temptation to do something else that might be more fun at the moment.
Wooden, John

31.
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

32.
Don't become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.
Ziglar, Zig

33.
In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
Sophocles

34.
What allows us, as human beings, to psychologically survive life on earth, with all of its pain, drama, and challenges, is a sense of purpose and meaning
Angelis, Barbara De

35.
Every man is occasionally visited by the suspicion that the planet on which he is riding is not really going anywhere; that the Force which controls its measured eccentricities hasn't got anything special in mind. If he broods on this somber theme long enough he gets the doleful idea that the laughing children on a merry-go-round or the thin, fine hands of a lady's watch are revolving more purposely than he is.
Thurber, James

36.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

37.
Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
Sharpman, Al

38.
What mankind wants is not talent; it is purpose.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

39.
To be a Sufi is to cease from taking trouble; and there is no greater trouble for thee than thine own self, for when thou art occupied with thyself, thou remainest away from God.
Sa'id, Abu

40.
The crowning blessing of life is to be born with a bias to some pursuit.
Tallentyre, S. G.

41.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

42.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

43.
What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.
Eliot, George

44.
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

45.
If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything.

46.
The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. [Proverbs 20:5]
Bible

47.
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia

48.
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
Pilgrim, Peace

49.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

50.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard
