Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
He who clings to life shall lose it -- but losing it in a right cause will gain it.

2.
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

3.
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

4.
A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

5.
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end
Hemingway, Ernest

6.
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

7.
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.

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

9.
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.

10.
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Morgan, Arthur E.

11.
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

12.
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

13.
I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose...
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
The secret to success is constancy to purpose.
Disraeli, Benjamin

15.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

16.
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

17.
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

18.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry

19.
Are we interested in sight seeing or soul saving?

20.
Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.
Fuller, Thomas

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.
Frankl, Viktor E.

24.
Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.
Robbins, Anthony

25.
I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
Martyn, Henry

26.
If you don't stand up for something, you may fall for anything.
Brown, Les

27.
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

28.
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

29.
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Gide, Andre

30.
You, betrayed by time and space, Seek and find your proper place.
Wizard, Her Majesty's

31.
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

32.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

33.
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.

34.
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

35.
Your cause belongs to those that can avenge your wrongs.
Winkworth

36.
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
Hudgins, Ken

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

40.
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

41.
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

42.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

43.
Multitudes of people, drifting aimlessly to and fro without a set purpose, deny themselves such fulfillment of their capacities, and the satisfying happiness which attends it. They are not wicked, they are only shallow. They are not mean or vicious; they simply are empty -- shake them and they would rattle like gourds. They lack range, depth, and conviction. Without purpose their lives ultimately wander into the morass of dissatisfaction. As we harness our abilities to a steady purpose and undertake the long pull toward its accomplishment, rich compensations reward us. A sense of purpose simplifies life and therefore concentrates our abilities; and concentration adds power.
Hildebrand, Kenneth

44.
Pep without purpose is piffle.

45.
Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

46.
Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

47.
The purpose of man is in action not thought.
Carlyle, Thomas

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

50.
The aims of life are the best defense against death.
Levi, Primo
