Only you are responsible for your life and for your life and making it a happy life

The purpose of work is to labor and invest time in your gift

Tell me that the purpose of life is to have fun, and without a care in the world I'll begin wreaking havoc on everything I pass. Now that's what I call pure, honest fun.

God chose to save you for a purpose

The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

Live for something.

Do not dare to live without some clear intention toward which your living shall be bent. Mean to be something with all your might.

Preservation for what?

For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance. For the Future in the distance, And the good that I can do.

A great preservative against angry and mutinous thoughts, and all impatience and quarreling, is to have some great business and interest in your mind, which, like a sponge shall suck up your attention and keep you from brooding over what displeases you.

Man is not born to solve the problems of the universe, but to find out where the problems begin, and then to take his stand within the limits of the intelligible.

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each to other?

He who governed the world before I was born shall take care of it likewise when I am dead. My part is to improve the present moment.

God made me so that I might find Him.

I knew my life had been given back for a purpose.

Bind together your spare hours by the cord of some definite purpose.

He who would make serious use of his life must always act as though he had a long time to live and must schedule his time as though he were about to die.

The secret of success is constancy to purpose.

There is no circumstance, no trouble, no testing, that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment.

Strange is our situation here upon the earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.
