Quotations regarding 'Purpose'

Choose a letter: 
Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, American President (1890-1969)
The purpose is clear. It is safety with solvency. The country is entitled to both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, American President (1890-1969)
The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.
George Eliot, British Author (1819-1880)
I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
George Eliot, British Author (1819-1880)
Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.
Roland Emmerich, German Director (1955-  )
The purpose cannot be creating self-styled democracies, but rather encouraging steps that are conducive to establishing democratic rule at universal standards. Obviously, this would be a formidable journey.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish Politician (1954-  )
Our purpose in this project is to begin to turn that fear of cancer, actually America's greatest fear, into a future, not only free of fear, but full of hope.
Andrew von Eschenbach, -
The fishes are also employed for the same purpose on any yard, which happens to be sprung or fractured. Thus their form, application, and utility are exactly like those of the splinters applied to a broken limb in surgery.
William Falconer, Scottish Poet
However, those who have used those words use half the sentence to fit their purpose, which, of course, I believe is to discredit me and the new Nation of Islam that has come up around me.
Louis Farrakhan, American Activist (1933-  )
The purpose of the UN mechanism, this inspection mechanism, is not to engage in a cat and mouse game with Saddam Hussein and try to find weapons that the Iraqi government is working on concealing.
Douglas Feith, American Public Servant (1953-  )
Keep it in tune with the times, but don't write with the specific purpose of trying to create a hit. If you're doing it strictly to make money, you're crazy. There are easier ways to make money.
Dorothy Fields, American Musician (1905-1974)
Studies indicate that these children are more susceptible to advertising and even less likely to understand the purpose of this advertising.
Bob Filner, American Politician (1942-  )
Don't confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.
Martin H. Fischer, -
I think of myself as being a relatively intelligent man who is open to a lot of different things and I think that questioning our purpose in life and the meaning of existence is something that we all go through at some point.
Laurence Fishburne, American Actor (1961-  )
The purpose of satire has been rightly stated as to strip off the veneer of comforting illusion and cosy half truth, and our job, as I see it, is to put it back again!
Michael Flanders, British Actor (1922-1975)
Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.
Gustave Flaubert, French Novelist (1821-1880)
There is already a mountain of evidence that Saddam Hussein is gathering weapons for the purpose of using them. And adding additional information is like adding a foot to Mount Everest.
Ari Fleischer, American Public Servant (1960-  )
The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
Malcolm Forbes, American Publisher (1917-1990)
Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
Malcolm Forbes, American Publisher (1917-1990)
I did not want to reject religion as nonsense because life seemed to have no ultimate purpose without it, and most of the good people I knew were Christians.
Luke Ford, Australian Writer (1966-  )
