Famous quotes containing the words purpose of and/or purpose:
“The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.”
—Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
“There are a sort of men whose visages
Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
And do a willful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
