Famous quotes containing the word mission:

    “We never can tell how our lives may work to the account of the general good, and we are not wise enough to know if we have fulfilled our mission or not.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    “Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
    —Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)

    “When you’re dealing with monkeys, you’ve got to expect some wrenches.”
    —Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Captain Nelson, Objective Burma, giving a subaltern a mission (1945)
