Purpose Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Purpose

1.
Mix a conviction with a man and something happens.
Powell, Adam Clayton

2.
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

3.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose.
Proverb

4.
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

5.
You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.
Wieder, Marcia

6.
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

7.
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

8.
Knowing our personal mission further enhances the flow of mysterious coincidences as we are guided toward our destinies. First we have a question, then dreams, daydreams, and intuitions lead us toward the answers, which usually are synchronistically provided by the wisdom of another human being.
Redfield, James

9.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Buscaglia, Leo

10.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
Thoreau, Henry David

11.
If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything.

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us.
Shaw, George Bernard

16.
What mankind wants is not talent; it is purpose.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

17.
Winners are people with definite purpose in life.
Waitley, Denis

18.
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

19.
Pep without purpose is piffle.

20.
I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.
Diana, Princess of Wales

21.
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

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

23.
What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

24.
The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. [Proverbs 20:5]
Bible

25.
There is no better test of a man's work than time, which also reveals the thoughts which lay hidden in his breast.
Simonides

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. [2 Corinthians 5:20]
Bible

30.
What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.
Eliot, George

31.
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
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

33.
Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.
Robbins, Anthony

34.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
Brown, Les

35.
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

36.
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

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.
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.

39.
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

40.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca

41.
In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
Sophocles

42.
It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Gide, Andre

43.
I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
Martyn, Henry

44.
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

45.
People should follow their own energy.
Schultz, Will

46.
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

47.
Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money.
Fuller, Thomas

48.
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

49.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
Casals, Pablo

50.
You are only as strong as your purpose, therefore let us choose reasons to act that are big bold righteous and eternal.
Munro, Barry
