Purpose

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
Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
Winners are people with definite purpose in life.
Waitley, Denis

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb

5.
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

6.
The only way you can be successful on a post or win at it is to be at cause over it.
Hubbard, L. Ron

7.
Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Don't become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.
Ziglar, Zig

11.
I just wake up and say, You're a bum, go do something worthwhile today.
Brooks, Garth

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

13.
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

14.
Mix a conviction with a man and something happens.
Powell, Adam Clayton

15.
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
Shakespeare, William

16.
What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.
Eliot, George

17.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

18.
A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

19.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
Moody, Dwight L.

20.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

21.
If you don't stand up for something, you may fall for anything.
Brown, Les

22.
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

23.
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?

24.
The aims of life are the best defense against death.
Levi, Primo

25.
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

26.
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.

27.
Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work.
Halas, George

28.
He who clings to life shall lose it -- but losing it in a right cause will gain it.

29.
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
Shaw, George Bernard

30.
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
Pilgrim, Peace

31.
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

32.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha

33.
Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.
Robbins, Anthony

34.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

35.
Once we are destined to live out our lives in the prison of our mind, our duty is to furnish it well.
Ustinov, Peter

36.
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Gide, Andre

37.
Our chief usefulness to humanity rests on our combining power with high purpose. Power undirected by high purpose spells calamity, and high purpose by itself is utterly useless if the power to put it into effect is lacking.
Roosevelt, Theodore

38.
The one who adapts his policy to the times prospers, and likewise that the one whose policy clashes with the demands of the times does not.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

39.
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

40.
I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose...
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia

42.
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

43.
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

44.
It is your work in life that is your ultimate seduction.
Picasso, Pablo

45.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

46.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

47.
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
Hudgins, Ken

48.
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.
Carnegie, Dale

49.
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

50.
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
