“There are some that only employ words for the purpose of disguising their thoughts”
Voltaire
“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
“How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.”
Albert Einstein
“You do the right thing even if it makes you feel bad. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to be worthy of happiness.”
Tracy Kidder
“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”
Dalai Lama
“Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.”

“The true joy of life [is] being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one ... being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap heap ... being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.”
George Bernard Shaw
