Art for art's sake, with no
purpose, for any
purpose perverts art. But art achieves a
purpose which is not its own.
View quotes by Benjamin ConstantThe highest
purpose is to have no
purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation.
View quotes by John CageThe man without a
purpose is like a ship without a rudder - waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a
purpose in life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.
View quotes by Thomas CarlyleIt is well that we have hobbies and crafts, not only do they give a sense of
purpose but they have a
purpose of themselves, too.

When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. [Hymn]

View quotes by Finley DunneIn crossing a heath, suppose I pitched my foot against a stone, and were asked how the stone came to be there: I might possibly answer, that for any thing I know to the contrary, it had lain there for ever: nor would it perhaps be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place; I should hardly think of the answer which I had before given, that for any thing I knew, the watch might have always been there. Yet why should not this answer serve for the watch, as well as for the stone? why is it not as admissable in the second case as in the first? For this reason, and for no other, viz., that when we come to inspect the watch, we perceive (what we could not discover in the stone) that its several parts are framed and put together for a
purpose . . . This mechanism being observed . . . the inference, we think, is inevitable, that the watch must have had a maker; that there must have existed, at some time, and at some place of other, an artificer or artificers, who formed it for the
purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction, and designed its use.
