Purpose Quotes
-
I have never imputed to Nature a purpose or a goal, or anything that could be understood as anthropomorphic. What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of 'humility.' This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.
Albert Einstein
-
No matter how explicit the pledge, people will turn and twist the text to suit their own purpose.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Every novelist has a different purpose - and often several purposes which might even be contradictory.
Irwin Shaw
-
I suppose if it has a practical purpose, I appreciate a pat on the back. I suppose it's rewarding, ultimately.
Brendan Fraser
-
If we are one in purpose, spirit, principle and faith, then it doesn't really matter if we are always of the same opinion. Opinions change and can be easily altered by time, experience, and circumstance. But principles, purposes, spirituality, and faith are enduring values that can bind us as one despite disagreement or dispute.
M. Russell Ballard
-
A lot of times, we are trapped by our own false sense of security. You can do whatever it is you put your mind to. Your goal is to find your purpose.
Kenny Leon
-
Every outer purpose is doomed to 'fail' sooner or later, simply because it is subject to the law of impermanence of all things.
Eckhart Tolle
-
I never sang for a Grammy, for money, for fame. That's my whole purpose for singing: for people, for the fans.
Mavis Staples
-
A man with a half volition goes backwards and forwards, and makes no way on the smoothest road; a man with a whole volition advances on the roughest, and will reach his purpose, if there be even a little worthiness in it. The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.
Thomas Carlyle
-
The law provides a remedy, charging those who threaten a victim's data for the purpose of extortion. Extending criminal liability to innocent third-party digital currency exchangers, or any other third-party financial institution, would be an utterly unwarranted and unjust misinterpretation both of law and policy.
Perianne Boring
-
The resentment of discipline of any kind will warp the whole life away from God's purpose.
Oswald Chambers
-
This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us; to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves; to act in such a way that some part of us lives on.
Oswald Spengler
-
The purpose of a story is to be an axe that breaks up the ice within us.
Franz Kafka
-
Have a life that matters. A life with purpose. Find your own way but don't lose sight of the journey.
A. Meredith Walters
-
In the end, each life is no more than the sum of contingent facts, a chronicle of chance intersections, of flukes, of random events that divulge nothing but their own lack of purpose.
Paul Auster
-
Successfully completing a lesser purpose doesn't feel good very good for very long, because it is simply preparation for advancing toward a greater embodiment of your deeper purpose.
David Deida
-
In my own work, I'd say I'm a classicist, but I look everywhere for my solutions. I don't study the toilet-living habits of my clients, although that's a popular approach. First, I think of every building in history that has been similar in purpose. Then I think of the functional program - that's a major part of the study.
Philip Johnson
-
I think I've found a purpose in acting; it's something I truly love and truly enjoy. It makes me happy. It makes me understand more about life, in front of the camera, than what I'm living beyond the camera.
Ranbir Kapoor
