Famous quotes containing the word mission:

    “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)

    “The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
    —Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
