- Lippmann, Walter
Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.
Fuller, Thomas

4.
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
Pilgrim, Peace

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

7.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard

8.
Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

9.
The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a century.
Craig Mary

10.
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

11.
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

12.
Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Irving, Washington

13.
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

14.
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?

15.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

16.
I just wake up and say, You're a bum, go do something worthwhile today.
Brooks, Garth

17.
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

18.
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
Hudgins, Ken

19.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

20.
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.

21.
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose...
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
What mankind wants is not talent; it is purpose.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

24.
I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
Martyn, Henry

25.
He who clings to life shall lose it -- but losing it in a right cause will gain it.

26.
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

27.
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

28.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
Moody, Dwight L.

29.
Mix a conviction with a man and something happens.
Powell, Adam Clayton

30.
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

31.
The aims of life are the best defense against death.
Levi, Primo

32.
Don't become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.
Ziglar, Zig

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

34.
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

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

36.
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

37.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

38.
The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with purpose.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

39.
The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. [Proverbs 20:5]
Bible

40.
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
Shakespeare, William

41.
The purpose of man is in action not thought.
Carlyle, Thomas

42.
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

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.
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

48.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles

49.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

50.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
