Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
Your cause belongs to those that can avenge your wrongs.
Winkworth

2.
Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.
Allen, James

3.
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

4.
Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.
Robbins, Anthony

5.
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
Hudgins, Ken

6.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard

7.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha

8.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

9.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles

10.
No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said, ?This is what is expected of you. But I?m lucky enough in the fact that I have found my role I love being with people.?
Diana, Princess of Wales

11.
The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
Eliot, George

12.
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?

13.
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

14.
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Morgan, Arthur E.

15.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

16.
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

17.
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

18.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

19.
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

20.
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

21.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

22.
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

23.
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

24.
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Gide, Andre

25.
A purpose you impart is no longer your own.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

26.
Don't become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.
Ziglar, Zig

27.
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

28.
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

29.
The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with purpose.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

30.
Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.
Fuller, Thomas

31.
Mix a conviction with a man and something happens.
Powell, Adam Clayton

32.
He who clings to life shall lose it -- but losing it in a right cause will gain it.

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

34.
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

35.
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

36.
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
Pilgrim, Peace

37.
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
Shakespeare, William

38.
The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a century.
Craig Mary

39.
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.

40.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
Moody, Dwight L.

41.
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

42.
The only way you can be successful on a post or win at it is to be at cause over it.
Hubbard, L. Ron

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
Frankl, Viktor E.

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

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

Cousins, Norman

50.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
