• Descubrir el propósito es una actividad continua, y revelarlo es un proceso continuo... Las personas más afortunadas de la tierra son aquellas que han encontrado una vocación que es más grande que ellas mismas, una razón para vivir que las mueve y llena sus vidas de pasión constante, vitalidad y crecimiento. ¡El verdadero propósito de tu alma es ser el amor que eres!

• Cuando un niño no para de pedirte que le cuentes un cuento, lo que instintivamente quiere saber es cuál es su verdadero propósito y misión en la vida. Lamentablemente, este conocimiento nunca fue buscado por sus padres, y explica por qué los libros infantiles son una industria muy caliente y lucrativa. En lugar de contarle a su hijo la verdad de nuestra historia y existencia, la sociedad le condiciona a leerle simplemente un cuento de hadas.

• It cannot suffice to invent new machines, new regulations, new institutions. It is necessary to change and improve our understanding of the true purpose of what we are and what we do in the world. Only such a new understanding will allow us to develop new models of behavior, new scales of values and goals, and thereby invest the global regulations, treaties and institutions with a new spirit and meaning.

  Vaclav Havel

• The true purpose of life is the perfection of humanity through individual effort, under the guidance of God's inspiration. Real life is response to the best within us. To be alive only to appetite, pleasure, pride, money-making, and not to goodness and kindness, purity and love, poetry, music, flowers, stars, God and eternal hopes, is to deprive one's self of the real joy of living.

• It is like the thirsty traveller who at first sincerely sought the water of knowledge, but who later, having found it plain perhaps, proceeded to temper his cup with the salt of doubt so that his thirst now becomes insatiable though he drinks incessantly, and that in thus drinking the water that cannot slake his thirst, he has forgotten the original and true purpose for which the water was sought.

• As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose - that it may violate property instead of protecting it - then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder.

• At school, our classroom had a small rodent zoo consisting of two rabbits, three hamsters, a litter of baby gerbils and a guinea pig. At first, I’d thought the teacher was raising snack food, which impressed me, being the first sign of intelligence she’d shown. Soon, though, I’d figured out the animals’ true purpose and left them alone, though I would never understand the appeal of petting and coddling perfectly good food.

• We've bought into the idea that education is about training and "success," defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.

• Por primera vez en su vida, dejó de preocuparse por los resultados y, como consecuencia, los términos "éxito" y "fracaso" perdieron de repente su significado para él. Descubrió que la verdadera finalidad del arte no era crear objetos bellos. Era un método de comprensión, una forma de penetrar en el mundo y encontrar su lugar en él, y las cualidades estéticas que pudiera tener un lienzo eran casi un subproducto incidental del esfuerzo por comprometerse en esta lucha, por entrar en el meollo de las cosas.

• Geology is rapidly taking its place as an introduction to the higher history of man. If the author has sought to exalt a favorite science, it has been with the desire that man-in whom geological history had its consummation, the prophecies of the successive ages their fulfilment-might better comprehend his own nobility and the true purpose of his existence.

• More and more people are beginning to feel that there must be another way of thinking, perceiving, and acting. And perhaps the beginning of another way of looking at the world is to re-evaluate all of our beliefs. It is, after all, our beliefs that determine what we are, experience, and expect. When we are willing to take a new look at our own beliefs, we then have an opportunity to begin rediscovering who and what we are and to redetermine our true purpose on Earth.
