Purpose

Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
- Sharpman, Al
Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
Sophocles

2.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb

3.
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.

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Don't become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.
Ziglar, Zig

7.
Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.
Allen, James

8.
Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
Frankl, Viktor E.

9.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

10.
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

11.
If you don't stand up for something, you may fall for anything.
Brown, Les

12.
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

13.
You, betrayed by time and space, Seek and find your proper place.
Wizard, Her Majesty's

14.
Winners are people with definite purpose in life.
Waitley, Denis

15.
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

16.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha

17.
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

18.
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

19.
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

20.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

21.
Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
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

23.
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

24.
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
Shakespeare, William

25.
Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

26.
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

27.
I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
Martyn, Henry

28.
If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything.

29.
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
Pilgrim, Peace

30.
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
Hudgins, Ken

31.
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

32.
What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.
Eliot, George

33.
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
Shaw, George Bernard

34.
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

35.
Mix a conviction with a man and something happens.
Powell, Adam Clayton

36.
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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles

40.
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.
Thurber, James

41.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

42.
Your cause belongs to those that can avenge your wrongs.
Winkworth

43.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

44.
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.

45.
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

46.
They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed.
Socrates

47.
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

48.
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Morgan, Arthur E.

49.
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

50.
What allows us, as human beings, to psychologically survive life on earth, with all of its pain, drama, and challenges, is a sense of purpose and meaning
Angelis, Barbara De
