Purpose

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
Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
Only the consciousness of a purpose that is mightier than any man and worthy of all men can fortify and inspirit and compose the souls of men.
Lippmann, Walter

2.
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

3.
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

4.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Many good purposes lie in the churchyard.
Henry, Philip

8.
The crowning blessing of life is to be born with a bias to some pursuit.
Tallentyre, S. G.

9.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

10.
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

11.
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

12.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

13.
The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
Eliot, George

14.
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

15.
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.

16.
People should follow their own energy.
Schultz, Will

17.
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

18.
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.

19.
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.
Thurber, James

20.
A purpose you impart is no longer your own.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

21.
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.

22.
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

23.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

24.
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

25.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

26.
I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
Martyn, Henry

27.
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

28.
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

29.
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

30.
If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything.

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

32.
In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
Sophocles

33.
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

34.
Your cause belongs to those that can avenge your wrongs.
Winkworth

35.
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is.
Gschwandtner, Gerhard

36.
The secret to success is constancy to purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.
Fuller, Thomas

40.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

41.
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

42.
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.

43.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

44.
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

45.
Winners are people with definite purpose in life.
Waitley, Denis

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

48.
I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.
Diana, Princess of Wales

49.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

50.
The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. [Proverbs 20:5]
Bible
