Notable quotes

“A narrow religion, a sectarian religion, an exclusive religion can live only for a limited time and a limited purpose.”
— Sri Aurobindo, The Uttarpara Address (1909)
“In day-to-day life it is easy for the utilitarian lens of metrics to eclipse the moral lens that drew us to our work in the first place.”
— David Brooks, 'New York Time, 2024
“We look upon this shaken Earth, and we declare our firm and fixed purpose — the building of a peace with justice in a world where moral law prevails. The building of such a peace is a bold and solemn purpose. To proclaim it is easy. To serve it will be hard.”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his Second Inaugural address (21 January 1957)
“The purposes of the Almighty are perfect, and must prevail, though we erring mortals may fail to accurately perceive them in advance.”
— Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Eliza Gurney (4 September 1864); quoted in Roy P. Basler, ed., The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, vol. 7 (1953), p. 535.
“The hypothesis will lead to our thinking of features of each Universe as purposed; and this will stand or fall with the hypothesis. Yet a purpose essentially involves growth, and so cannot be attributed to God. Still it will, according to the hypothesis, be less false to speak so than to represent God as purposeless.”
— Charles Sanders Peirce, on the God hypothesis, in "A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God" (1908), § II
“I take great satisfaction in seeing people and organizations achieve goals they might have originally believed to be beyond their reach.”
— Don W. Wilson as quoted in e-Study Guide for: American Government and Politics Today Google Books
