Motivational Quotes
Purpose
The sense of paralysis proceeds not so much out of the mammoth size of the problem but out of the puniness of the purpose.
Best Quotes about Purpose
I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
Martyn, Henry
Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
Hudgins, Ken
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?
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
We need not only a purpose in life to give meaning to our existence but also something to give meaning to our suffering. We need as much something to suffer for as something to live for.
Hoffer, Eric
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
Shakespeare, William
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb
Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.
Fuller, Thomas
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca
Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
Sharpman, Al
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth
The first principle of ethical power is Purpose. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.
Blanchard, Ken
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward toward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Bible
Bring me men to match my mountains: Bring me men to match my plains: Men with empires in their purpose and new eras in their brains.
Foss, Sam Walter
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha
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
Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin
The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with purpose.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.
Allen, James
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
Multitudes of people, drifting aimlessly to and fro without a set purpose, deny themselves such fulfillment of their capacities, and the satisfying happiness which attends it. They are not wicked, they are only shallow. They are not mean or vicious; they simply are empty -- shake them and they would rattle like gourds. They lack range, depth, and conviction. Without purpose their lives ultimately wander into the morass of dissatisfaction. As we harness our abilities to a steady purpose and undertake the long pull toward its accomplishment, rich compensations reward us. A sense of purpose simplifies life and therefore concentrates our abilities; and concentration adds power.
Hildebrand, Kenneth
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Never be afraid to treat the path alone. Know which is your path and follow it wherever it may lead you; do not feel you have to follow in someone else's footsteps.
Bellin, Gita
The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. [Proverbs 20:5]
Bible
One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house f the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. [Psalms 27:4]
Bible
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
Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work.
Halas, George
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The longest journey is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest for the source of his being.
Hammarskjold, Dag
If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard
There is no better test of a man's work than time, which also reveals the thoughts which lay hidden in his breast.
Simonides
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
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.
Thurber, James
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
Shaw, George Bernard
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
I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose...
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. [2 Corinthians 5:20]
Bible
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
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Gide, Andre
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The whole life is but a point of time; let us enjoy it, therefore, while it lasts, and not spend it to no purpose.
Plutarch
When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.
Stone, W. Clement
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia
Winners are people with definite purpose in life.
Waitley, Denis
