Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a century.
Craig Mary

2.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

3.
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.

4.
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

5.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

6.
The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with purpose.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

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

8.
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.

9.
It is your work in life that is your ultimate seduction.
Picasso, Pablo

10.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb

11.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

12.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

13.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

14.
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

15.
I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose...
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
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

17.
There is no better test of a man's work than time, which also reveals the thoughts which lay hidden in his breast.
Simonides

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

22.
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

23.
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

24.
The crowning blessing of life is to be born with a bias to some pursuit.
Tallentyre, S. G.

25.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard

26.
People should follow their own energy.
Schultz, Will

27.
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

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.
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

30.
They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed.
Socrates

31.
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca

33.
Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.
Fuller, Thomas

34.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

35.
The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
Eliot, George

36.
The aims of life are the best defense against death.
Levi, Primo

37.
I just wake up and say, You're a bum, go do something worthwhile today.
Brooks, Garth

38.
Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

39.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
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

43.
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

44.
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

45.
I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.
Diana, Princess of Wales

46.
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.
Thurber, James

47.
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

48.
What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.
Eliot, George

49.
You, betrayed by time and space, Seek and find your proper place.
Wizard, Her Majesty's

50.
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
