Motivation Quotes (page 16)

Jonah-John-if I had been a Sam, I would have been a Jonah still-not because I have been unlucky for others, but because somebody or something has compelled me to be certain places, at certain times, without fail. Conveyances and motives, both conventional and bizarre, have been provided. And, according to plan, at each appointed second, at each appointed place this Jonah was there. Kurt Vonnegut
Bertrand Russell quote: "There are two motives for reading a book: one, that you enjoy..."
There are two motives for reading a book: one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it. Bertrand Russell
He can go about his business, so completely satisfied to see and be part of the divine Order of Things that he will never even be tempted. When all things are perceived as infinite and holy, what motive can we have for covetousness, for drearier forms of pleasure? Aldous Huxley
Jodi Picoult quote: "What's stronger-the need to uphold the law, or the motive to..."
What's stronger-the need to uphold the law, or the motive to turn one's back on it? Jodi Picoult
I had become too accustomed to the pseudo-Left new style, whereby if your opponent thought he had identified your lowest possible motive, he was quite certain that he had isolated the only real one. This vulgar method, which is now the norm and the standard in much non-Left journalism as well, is designed to have the effect of making any noisy moron into a master analyst. Christopher Hitchens
Hugh Hefner quote: "If a beautiful women expressed interest in me and my company,..."
If a beautiful women expressed interest in me and my company, I don't really probe their motivations. Call me shallow. Hugh Hefner
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order --or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path. Ronald Reagan
Hilary Swank quote: "I’m always scared to death that I won’t do a role justice. But..."
I’m always scared to death that I won’t do a role justice. But fear can be a great motivator. Hilary Swank
Albert Einstein quote: "I maintain that the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest..."
I maintain that the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research. Albert Einstein
Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to do the best things in their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring, to go much further in their daily... Paulo Coelho
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway… You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them... Mother Teresa
Inside-Out" means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self -- with your paradigms, your character, and your motives Stephen Covey
One of the strongest motives that leads men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness. Such men make this cosmos and its construction the pivot of their emotional life, in order to find the peace and security which they cannot find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience. Walter Isaacson
Mother Teresa quote: "I fear just one thing : Money! Greedwas what motivated Judas..."
I fear just one thing : Money! Greedwas what motivated Judas to sell Jesus Mother Teresa
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you... Mother Teresa
