  • Money is meant not for hoarding, but for using; the aim of life should be to use it in the right way - to spend as much as we can lawfully spend, both upon ourselves and others. And sometimes it is better to do this in our lifetime, when we can see that it is well spent, than to leave it to the chance spending of those that come after us.

    Jack London (2015). “White Fang (Arcadia Classics)”, p.76, Jack London
  • I’m always intrigued by my nonsensical concern with picking out a bunch of things that look exactly alike the ones that somehow I feel are the best and belong to me. It’s that same crazy urge or superstition, or whatever it is, that makes me open a Bible in a hotel room, hoping for some great happenstance spiritual word of advice. More often than not, I hit a long passage of begats and begots, which contain little inspiration other than the fact that procreation is the highest aim of life.

    Vincent Price (2016). “The Book of Joe: About a Dog and His Man”, p.84, Open Road Media
  • I usually say the aim of life is to be happy. Our existence is based on hope. Our life is rooted in the opportunity to be happy, not necessarily wealthy, but happy within our own minds. If we only indulge in sensory pleasure, we'll be little different from animals. In fact, we have this marvellous brain and intelligence; we must learn to use it.

  • Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

    "Personal Quotes/ Biography". www.imdb.com.
  • Genuine inner freedom is the ultimate aim of life. It is the unspoken goal of every thought you have and every action you take.

  • The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.

  • The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

    FaceBook post by Hubert Selby, Jr. from Sep 30, 2015
  • One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.

  • The aim of life was meat. Life itself was meat. Life lived on life. There were the eaters and the eaten. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN. He did not formulate the law in clear, set terms and moralize about it. He did not even think the law; he merely lived the law without thinking about it at all.

    Thinking   Law   Meat  
    Jack London (2016). “The Call of the Wild and White Fang”, p.124, Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.
  • Failure seems to be regarded as the one unpardonable crime, success as the all-redeeming virtue, the acquisition of wealth as the single worthy aim of life. Ten years ago such revelations as these of the Erie Railway would have sent a shudder through the community, and would have placed a stigma on every man who had had to do them. Now they merely incite others to surpass by yet bolder outrages and more corrupt combinations.

    "Zig Ziglar, Motivational Speaker, Dies at 86" by William Yardley, www.nytimes.com. November 28, 2012.
  • My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style

  • There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

    Afterthoughts (1931) "Life and Human Nature"
  • No one knows where we are going, the aim of life has been forgotten, the end has been left behind. Man has set out at tremendous speed- to go nowhere.

  • The aim of life is no more to control the mind, but to develop it harmoniously; not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below

    Motivational   Mind   Use  
  • Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

    Love   Life   Happiness

    Oscar Wilde, Russell Jackson, Joseph Bristow, Ian Small (2000). “The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: The picture of Dorian Gray : the 1890 and 1891 texts”, p.183, Oxford University Press on Demand
  • Mephistopheles, the machine man, can provide us with all the means, and is thus likely to determine the aims of life as well. But of course the characteristic of Faust, which makes him eligible to be saved, is that he seeks aims that are not those of the machine.

    Joseph Campbell, Bill Moyers (2011). “The Power of Myth”, p.24, Anchor
  • As a composer seeking to remain anonymous I am shy of confessing my musical activity. This is intelligible enough. For others it is their chief business, the occupation and aim of life. For me it is a relaxation, a pastime which distracts me from my principal business, my professorship. I love my profession and my science. I love the Academy and my pupils, male and female, because to direct the work of young people, one must be close to them.

  • A great goal in life is the only fortune worth finding.

  • All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.

    Art   Aim Of Life   Sake  
    Intentions "The Critic as Artist" pt. 2 (1891)
  • The message would be that the purpose of life is not to eat and drink, watch television and so on. Consuming is not the aim of life. Earning as much money as one can is not the real purpose of life. There is a superior entity, a divinity, le divin as we say in French that is worth thinking about, as are our feelings of wholeness, respect and love, if we can. A society in which these feelings are widespread would be more reasonable than the society the West presently lives in.

  • Would that the simple maxim, that honesty is the best policy, might be laid to heart; that a sense of the true aim of life might elevate the tone of politics and trade till public and private honor become identical.

    Truth   Honesty   Heart  
    Margaret Fuller, Arthur Buckminster Fuller (1856). “At home and abroad: or, Things and thoughts in America and Europe. Edited by Arthur B. Fuller”, p.54
