- Lippmann, Walter
Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

2.
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

3.
Many good purposes lie in the churchyard.
Henry, Philip

4.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
Moody, Dwight L.

5.
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

6.
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?

7.
Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

8.
Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
Sharpman, Al

9.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb

10.
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

11.
Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Irving, Washington

12.
The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
Eliot, George

13.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

14.
Mix a conviction with a man and something happens.
Powell, Adam Clayton

15.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

16.
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

17.
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.

18.
You, betrayed by time and space, Seek and find your proper place.
Wizard, Her Majesty's

19.
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

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

21.
The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a century.
Craig Mary

22.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
Buddha

23.
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

24.
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

25.
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]
Bible

26.
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

27.
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

28.
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.

29.
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

30.
It is your work in life that is your ultimate seduction.
Picasso, Pablo

31.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca

35.
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.

36.
He who clings to life shall lose it -- but losing it in a right cause will gain it.

37.
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

38.
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia

39.
Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
Frankl, Viktor E.

40.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

Simonides

44.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
