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



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

2.
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?

3.
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

4.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

5.
There is no road to success but through a clear strong purpose. Nothing can take its place. A purpose underlies character, culture, position, attainment of every part.
Munger, Thornton T.

6.
Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.
Robbins, Anthony

7.
People should follow their own energy.
Schultz, Will

8.
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

9.
Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
Sharpman, Al

10.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca

11.
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

12.
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.

13.
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

14.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
Moody, Dwight L.

15.
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

16.
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia

17.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

18.
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

19.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb

20.
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Gide, Andre

21.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles

22.
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

23.
The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
Eliot, George

24.
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

25.
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

26.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

27.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha

28.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

29.
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

30.
The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with purpose.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

31.
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Morgan, Arthur E.

32.
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

33.
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

34.
A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

35.
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

36.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

37.
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.
Thurber, James

38.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

39.
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
Hudgins, Ken

40.
Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Irving, Washington

41.
Your cause belongs to those that can avenge your wrongs.
Winkworth

42.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

43.
Many good purposes lie in the churchyard.
Henry, Philip

44.
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

45.
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

46.
What mankind wants is not talent; it is purpose.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

47.
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

48.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

49.
I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.
Diana, Princess of Wales

50.
Pep without purpose is piffle.
