Famous quotes containing the word purpose:

    Don’t confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.
    Martin H. Fischer (1879–1962)

    Men may construe things after their fashion,
    Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The purpose of population is not ultimately peopling earth. It is to fill heaven.
    Graham D. Leonard (b. 1921)
