Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed.
Socrates

2.
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

3.
Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work.
Halas, George

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

Schultz, Will

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

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

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

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

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

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

15.
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

16.
Many good purposes lie in the churchyard.
Henry, Philip

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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
Sophocles

23.

Brown, Les

24.
Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Irving, Washington

25.
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

26.
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

27.
He who clings to life shall lose it -- but losing it in a right cause will gain it.

28.
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward toward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Bible

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

30.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

31.
Pep without purpose is piffle.

32.
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

33.
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. [Philippians 1:27]
Bible

34.
The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. [Proverbs 20:5]
Bible

35.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
Mayes, Charles

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca

39.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

40.
A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

41.
Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

42.
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

43.
A purpose you impart is no longer your own.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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.

47.
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

48.
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Morgan, Arthur E.

49.
The aims of life are the best defense against death.
Levi, Primo

50.
Winners are people with definite purpose in life.
Waitley, Denis
