Purpose

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



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

2.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
Moody, Dwight L.

3.
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

4.
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

5.
They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed.
Socrates

6.
A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

7.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

8.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

9.
People should follow their own energy.
Schultz, Will

10.
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

11.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

12.
It is your work in life that is your ultimate seduction.
Picasso, Pablo

13.
The only way you can be successful on a post or win at it is to be at cause over it.
Hubbard, L. Ron

14.
The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. [Proverbs 20:5]
Bible

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Knowing our personal mission further enhances the flow of mysterious coincidences as we are guided toward our destinies. First we have a question, then dreams, daydreams, and intuitions lead us toward the answers, which usually are synchronistically provided by the wisdom of another human being.
Redfield, James

18.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha

19.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

20.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

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

25.
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

26.
My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right.
Schulz, Charles M.

27.
I just wake up and say, You're a bum, go do something worthwhile today.
Brooks, Garth

28.
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

29.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles

30.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb

31.
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

32.
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

34.
I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
Martyn, Henry

35.
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

36.
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

37.
Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little; we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
Cowper, William

38.
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

39.
Pep without purpose is piffle.

40.
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

41.
Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
Sharpman, Al

42.
The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with purpose.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

43.
Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Irving, Washington

44.
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

45.
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
Shaw, George Bernard

46.
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

47.
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.

48.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

49.
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia

50.
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
