Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

2.
The crowning blessing of life is to be born with a bias to some pursuit.
Tallentyre, S. G.

3.
Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Irving, Washington

4.
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

5.
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

6.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. [Proverbs 20:5]
Bible

12.
There is no road to success but through a clear strong purpose. Nothing can take its place. A purpose underlies character, culture, position, attainment of every part.
Munger, Thornton T.

13.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard

14.
A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

15.
Anyone can live heroically and successfully for one day. The man who achieves a high purpose makes that day the pattern for all the days of his life.

16.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

17.
People should follow their own energy.
Schultz, Will

18.
Only the consciousness of a purpose that is mightier than any man and worthy of all men can fortify and inspirit and compose the souls of men.
Lippmann, Walter

19.
Your cause belongs to those that can avenge your wrongs.
Winkworth

20.
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

21.
I just wake up and say, You're a bum, go do something worthwhile today.
Brooks, Garth

22.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

23.
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

24.
The purpose of man is in action not thought.
Carlyle, Thomas

25.
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

26.
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

27.
The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
Eliot, George

28.
It is essential that we enable young people to see themselves as participants in one of the most exciting eras in history, and to have a sense of purpose in relation to it.
Rockefeller, Nelson

29.
There is no better test of a man's work than time, which also reveals the thoughts which lay hidden in his breast.
Simonides

30.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Pep without purpose is piffle.

35.
If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything.

36.
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

37.
Winners are people with definite purpose in life.
Waitley, Denis

38.
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
Pilgrim, Peace

39.
I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.
Diana, Princess of Wales

40.
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

41.
The sense of paralysis proceeds not so much out of the mammoth size of the problem but out of the puniness of the purpose.

Dyer, Wayne

What we must try to be, of course, is ourselves and wholeheartedly. We must find out what we really are and what we really want.
Boswell, Nelson

48.
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?

49.
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

50.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb
