I'm probably

I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me.

~Charles Manson

No good fish

No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise.

~Lewis Carroll

Thoughts lead on

"Thoughts lead on to purpose, purpose leads on to actions, actions form habits, habits decide character, and character fixes our destiny"

~ Tryon Edwards

We become powerful

"We become powerful in the face of our fears when we have a sense that we make a difference in this world. Affirmations of purpose communicate the truth that we are all meaningful participants in this Universe and that we are worthy of giving and receiving love. Some affirmations of purpose are:
- I know that I count and I act as though I do.
- I spread warmth and love everywhere I go.
- I am a healing force in the Universe."

-- Susan Jeffers

If you think

If you think you came into being for the purpose of taking an important part in the administration of events, to guard a province of the moral creation from ruin, and that its salvation hangs on the success of your single arm, you have wholly mistaken your business.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The whole object

The whole object of the universe to us is the formation of character.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Man would sooner

Man would sooner have the void for his purpose than be void of purpose.

~Nietzche

I don't believe

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

~Joseph Campbell

People say

People say what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.

~Joseph Campbell
