Martyn, Henry

2.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

Munger, Thornton T.

4.
If you don't stand up for something, you may fall for anything.
Brown, Les

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

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

11.
It is your work in life that is your ultimate seduction.
Picasso, Pablo

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

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

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

15.
The secret to success is constancy to purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

16.
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

17.
What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.
Shakespeare, William

18.
Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work.
Halas, George

19.
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.

20.
Winners are people with definite purpose in life.
Waitley, Denis

21.
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

22.
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

23.
Don't become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.
Ziglar, Zig

24.
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

25.
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

26.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

27.
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.

28.
The crowning blessing of life is to be born with a bias to some pursuit.
Tallentyre, S. G.

29.
Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
Frankl, Viktor E.

30.
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?

31.
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
Pilgrim, Peace

32.
They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed.
Socrates

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

34.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

35.
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

36.
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia

37.
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

38.
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

39.
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]

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

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

42.
The aims of life are the best defense against death.
Levi, Primo

43.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca

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.
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

46.
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

47.
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

48.
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

49.
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

50.
If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything.
