Text Quotes
We all remember epochs in our experience when some dear expectation dies, or some new motive is born (Motive Quotes)

Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far (Motive Quotes)
Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important and that his work well done is a part of an unending plan (Motive Quotes)
A great man, tender of heart, strong of nerve, boundless patience and broadest sympathy, with no motive apart from his country (Motive Quotes)
Help your sister’s boat across the water, and yours too will reach the other side. Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind (Motive Quotes)
If the only motive was to help people who could not afford education, advocates of government involvement would have simply proposed tuition subsidies (Motive Quotes)
Wonder was the motive that led people to philosophy... wonder is a kind of desire in knowledge. It is the cause of delight because it carries with it the hope of discovery (Motive Quotes)
He is courageous who endures and fears the right thing, for the right motive, in the right way and at the right times (Motive Quotes)
For the greatest revolutionary changes on this earth would not have been thinkable if their motive force, instead of fanatical, yes, hysterical passion, had been merely the bourgeois virtues of law and order (Motive Quotes)
Extend the sphere and you take in a greater variety of parties and interests; you make it less probable that a majority of the whole will have common motive to invade the rights of other citizens (Motive Quotes)
One interesting thing about greed is that although the underlying motive is to seek satisfaction, the irony is that even after obtaining the object of your desire you are still not satisfied. The true antidote of greed is contentment (Motive Quotes)
The only motive that can keep politics pure is the motive of doing good for one’s country and its people (Motive Quotes)
Every work of art needs a spine – an underlying theme, a motive for coming into existence. It doesn’t have to be apparent to the audience. But you need it at the start of the creative process to guide you and keep you going (Motive Quotes)
As a motive for terror, religion has more often than not required a good deal of lubrication by lucre (Motive Quotes)
A patriot is he whose public conduct is regulated by one single motive, the love of his country; who, as an agent in parliament, has, for himself, neither hope nor fear, neither kindness nor resentment, but refers every thing to the common interest (Motive Quotes)
Talent works for money and fame; the motive which moves genius to productivity is, on the other hand, less easy to determine (Motive Quotes)
The profit motive, when it is the sole basis of an economic system, encourages a cutthroat competition and selfish ambition that inspires men to be more concerned about making a living than making a life (Motive Quotes)
Love provides the motive for obeying the commands of the law, but the law provides specific direction for exercising love (Motive Quotes)
If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men’s failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal’s natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle? (Motive Quotes)
Vanity is so frequently the apparent motive of advice that we, for the most part, summon our powers to oppose it without very accurate inquiry whether it is right. It is sufficient that another is growing great in his own eyes at our expense, and assumes authority over us without our permission; for many would contentedly suffer the consequences of their own mistakes, rather than the insolence of him who triumphs as their deliverer (Motive Quotes)
Where destruction is the motive, unity is dangerous. For example, if I have evil intent and I galvanize that evil intent with many others, the capacity to destroy is immense. Where goodness is the motive, unity is phenomenal and actually has some good issues to it (Motive Quotes)
None of us has ever seen a motive. Therefore, we don’t know we can’t do anything more than suspect what inspires the action of another. For this good and valid reason, we’re told not to judge. Tragedy is that our attention centers on what people are not, rather than on what they are and who they might become (Motive Quotes)
Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of deeply felt needs and the assuagement of pain. One has to keep this constantly in mind if one wishes to understand spiritual movements and their development. Feeling and longing are the motive force behind all human endeavor and human creation, in however exalted a guise the latter may present themselves to us (Motive Quotes)
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 (Motive Quotes)
Desire for approval and recognition is a healthy motive, but the desire to be acknowledged as better, stronger, or more intelligent than a fellow being or fellow scholar easily leads to an excessively egoistic psychological adjustment, which may become injurious for the individual and for the community (Motive Quotes)
When I have a particular case in hand, I have that motive and feel an interest in the case, feel an interest in ferreting out the questions to the bottom, love to dig up the question by the roots and hold it up and dry it before the fires of the mind (Motive Quotes)
The moment one starts sharing one’s being without any motive life becomes a sweet fragrance. It is all honey. Then everything remains the same, yet nothing is the same any more. When your heart beats in harmony, in love, in joy, when you are no longer greedy, when there are no desires and no ambitions, and when there are no ego trips any more, one is simply, ordinary, but sweet. That taste is the taste of God (Motive Quotes)
I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive then I believe you are better off not doing it. A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts (Motive Quotes)
The morality of an action depends on the motive from which we act. If I fling half a crown to a beggar with intention to break his head and he picks it up and buy victuals with it, the physical effect is good. But with respect to me the action is very wrong (Motive Quotes)
