Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
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

2.
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

3.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

4.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

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

6.
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.
Thurber, James

7.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

8.
Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.
Robbins, Anthony

9.
Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work.
Halas, George

10.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
Moody, Dwight L.

11.
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

12.
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

13.
They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed.
Socrates

14.
A purpose you impart is no longer your own.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.
If you don't stand up for something, you may fall for anything.
Brown, Les

16.
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

17.
Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
Frankl, Viktor E.

18.
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
Shakespeare, William

19.
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

20.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

21.
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

22.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

23.
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

24.
Mix a conviction with a man and something happens.
Powell, Adam Clayton

25.
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

26.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles

27.
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Morgan, Arthur E.

28.
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

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

30.
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.

31.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
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

33.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

34.
The purpose of man is in action not thought.
Carlyle, Thomas

35.
Many good purposes lie in the churchyard.
Henry, Philip

36.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

37.
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

38.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard

39.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb

40.
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

41.
In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
Sophocles

42.
Pep without purpose is piffle.

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Once we are destined to live out our lives in the prison of our mind, our duty is to furnish it well.
Ustinov, Peter

46.
There is no better test of a man's work than time, which also reveals the thoughts which lay hidden in his breast.
Simonides

47.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

48.
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

49.
Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Irving, Washington

50.
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
