“Man is unique in that he has plans, purpose and goals which require the need for criteria of choice. The need for ethical value is within man whose future may largely be determined by the choice he make”
George Bernard Shaw
“Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids”
Aristotle
“Today's patience can transform yesterday's discouragements into tomorrow's discoveries. Today's purposes can turn yesterday's defeats into tomorrow's determination.”
William Arthur Ward
“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence”
“Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.”
Oscar Wilde
“Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.”
Anthony Robbins
“Commitment means that it is possible for a man to yield the nerve centre of his consent to a purpose or cause, a movement or an ideal, which may be more important to him than whether he lives or dies.”
Howard Thurman
