Purpose


Make thick my blood, Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose. Shakespeare.—Macbeth, Act I. Scene 5.	1
Yet I doubt not through the ages One increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widen’d With the process of the suns. Tennyson.—Locksley Hall, Stanza 69.	2
The lights of knowledge and religion, of learning human and divine, of letters, science and the arts, have, as by a law of nature, followed the track of the sun. Guthrie.—The Gospel in Ezekiel, Chap. ii. Page 39.	3
