Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”

“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
