Purpose Quotes

What moments of despair that life would ever be made precious to me by the consciousness that I lived to some good purpose! It was that sort of despair that sucked away the sap of half the hours which might have been filled by energetic youthful activity: and the same demon tries to get hold of me again whenever an old work is dismissed and a new one is being meditated.
George Eliot

-
If we keep a goal firmly in mind, we will know when we have reached it.

If we can state our goals clearly, we will gain a purpose and meaning in all our actions.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
Men will consider deeply before they buy a tie or choose a meal; but when it comes to throwing aside their purpose in life, possibly life itself, they do not think at all. They consent to be marshalled, controlled, exposed to unimagined shock, mutilation and death, with barely a tremor, and their reasons for complying, if indeed they have any, would comparen most shamefully with their reasons for doing anything else.
Elizabeth Jane Howard

I've seen too much sacrifice to believe that God is behind all of it, and I've seen sacrifice that has no indicia of the hand of God at all. Loss is not always part of some greater plan explainable by reference to the actions of a divine being with a divine purpose.
Neil Abramson
-
Obviously there needs to be a strategic plan, we need to know what our purpose is, we need to know all those things but the most important thing is how people work with each other along the way.

A design may be called organic when there is an harmonious organization of the parts within the whole, according to structure, material, and purpose.

Eliot Noyes
