Famous quotes containing the words mission and, mission and/or purpose:

    Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.
    William McKinley (1843–1901)

    In those days, when my hands were much employed, I read but little, but the least scraps of paper which lay on the ground, my holder, or tablecloth, afforded me as much entertainment, in fact answered the same purpose as the Iliad.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
