Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
Shaw, George Bernard

2.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

3.
A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

4.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

5.
Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.
Dyer, Wayne

6.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

7.
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

8.
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

9.
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Gide, Andre

10.
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia

11.
Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
Frankl, Viktor E.

12.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard

13.
He who clings to life shall lose it -- but losing it in a right cause will gain it.

14.
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

15.
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

16.
The only way you can be successful on a post or win at it is to be at cause over it.
Hubbard, L. Ron

17.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

18.
Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
Sharpman, Al

19.
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

20.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles

21.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca

22.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

23.
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

24.
It is your work in life that is your ultimate seduction.
Picasso, Pablo

25.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

26.
The aims of life are the best defense against death.
Levi, Primo

27.
The sense of paralysis proceeds not so much out of the mammoth size of the problem but out of the puniness of the purpose.
Cousins, Norman

28.
Pep without purpose is piffle.

29.
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

30.
I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose...
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
I think that a lot of women are made to feel that they have not done the one thing that they were put on the earth to do if they didn't do the normal thing, if they didn't take the most traveled path. And it's unfortunate.
Griffith, Nanci

32.
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

33.
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

34.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

35.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha

36.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

37.
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

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

39.
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.

40.
You, betrayed by time and space, Seek and find your proper place.
Wizard, Her Majesty's

41.
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

42.
I just wake up and say, You're a bum, go do something worthwhile today.
Brooks, Garth

43.
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Morgan, Arthur E.

44.
If you don't stand up for something, you may fall for anything.
Brown, Les

45.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

46.
Once we are destined to live out our lives in the prison of our mind, our duty is to furnish it well.
Ustinov, Peter

47.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

48.
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
