Text Quotes
When you question a man’s motives, when you say they are acting out of greed, they are in the pocket of an interest group, et cetera. It’s awful hard to reach consensus. It’s awful hard to reach across the table and shake hands. No matter how bitterly you disagree, though, it is always possible if you question judgment and not motive (Motive Quotes)
The experience of helping a fellow man in danger, or even of training in a realistic manner to be ready to give this help, tends to change the balance of power in a youth’s inner life with the result that compassion can become the master motive. (Motive Quotes)
I try to be careful with my persuasiveness. When my heart is really behind it, and when I have no ulterior motive, then I know I’m truly persuasive. (Motive Quotes)
The first voyagers to the stars will be creatures whose life cycle is matched to the voyage: the aeons involved in traversing the galaxy are not daunting to immortal beings. By the end of the third millennium, travel to other stars could be technically feasible. But would there be sufficient motive? (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)
Life as a whole is simple, the complexities within it have to do with the motive of the human being. (Motive Quotes)
Unless one believes in a superhuman reason which directs evolution, one is bound to believe in a reason inherent in humanity, a motive power transcending that of each separate people, just as the power of the organism transcends that of the organ. This reason increases in proportion as the unity of mankind becomes established. (Motive Quotes)
Capitalism encourages entrepreneurs to act with consideration for others even when their ultimate motive is to benefit themselves. (Motive Quotes)
Why, for example, should a group of simple, stable compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen struggle for billions of years to organise themselves into a professor of chemistry? What’s the motive? (Motive Quotes)
I think there was a bit of brotherly love, but I think everything has a motive when you’re king. It’s all about maintaining that power - securing that power - and I think Edward was very skillful at doing that. I think he was a great king. Opinions are split, if you look at what he’s done and written about him. (Motive Quotes)
The man who could go to Africa and rob her of her children, and then sell them into interminable bondage, with no other motive than that which is furnished by dollars and cents, is so much worse than the most depraved murderer that he can never receive pardon at my hand. (Motive Quotes)
My motive, and I will make it clear and look you in the eyes, is to attack major league baseball. That’s my motive. (Motive Quotes)
I’m not going to stop talking to people who come up to me in an airport. I’m not going to worry about what may be their ulterior motive. (Motive Quotes)
Lacking a profit motive, workers in the government by and large have a different work ethic from those in private industry. When they could make one call, federal workers take a meeting. When they could find an answer on the Internet, they form a study committee. Instead of appointing one supervisor, they appoint five. (Motive Quotes)
The motive of grace is the infinite, compassionate love of a merciful God, but the work of grace was the death of Christ on the cross. (Motive Quotes)
For the life of me, I don’t understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen, and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities. (Motive Quotes)
What ever the motive for the insult, it is always best to overlook it; for folly doesn’t deserve resentment, and malice is punished by neglect. (Motive Quotes)
Do not ever say that the desire to ‘do good’ by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. (Motive Quotes)
The old detective story that’s got a really complicated motive doesn’t apply to mine (Motive Quotes)
The profit motive promotes economic growth by creating better products at cheaper prices (Motive Quotes)
Marxism: The theory that all the important things in history are rooted in an economic motive, that history is a science, a science of the search for food. (Motive Quotes)
No one since the Garden of Eden - which the serpent forsook in order to run for higher office - has imputed to politicians great purity of motive. (Motive Quotes)
It is man’s pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence. (Motive Quotes)
Prayer’s important, not just as some kind of a metaphysical exercise, but I think it’s a way to refresh one’s own mind and motive. If you’re praying, you’re really looking beyond your own personal thoughts and the pressures that are around you. (Motive Quotes)
We act unbelievingly and disobediently when, for whatever motive, we distort, falsify, or suppress the facts about our life in nature and history. (Motive Quotes)
Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult. Even with no motive to be false, it is very hard to say the exact truth. (Motive Quotes)
In morals what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness; in religion what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil. (Motive Quotes)
As I wrote I began to see more strongly that there were inescapable analogies. You couldn’t really live through the 80s without feeling how crass and distasteful some of the economic doctrines were. The slave trade is a perfect model for that kind of total devotion to the profit motive without reckoning the human consequences. (Motive Quotes)
It is all right when God sends us the approval of our fellow men; however, we must never make that approval a motive in our life. (Motive Quotes)
I believe that any individual who has spiritually awakened in our time, to the degree that he or she finds a higher and deeper motive for living, is going to be driven to fight the good fight in one way or another... And in order to fight the good fight, we have to engage, we have to get into the ring, not just stand outside it and be philosophers. (Motive Quotes)
