Philosophical minds Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right. Aldous Huxley If you dont know where you are going, youll end up someplace else. Yogi Berra He who would arrive at the appointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways. Seneca Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than before. Polybius In all things that you do, consider the end. Solon Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives. Viktor Frankl Aim at the sun, and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if aimed at an object on a level with yourself. J. Howes The virtue lies in the struggle, not in the prize. Richard Monckton Milnes To reach a port, we must sail—Sail, not tie at anchor—Sail, not drift. Franklin Roosevelt 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.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe A good archer is known not by his arrows but by his aim. Thomas Fuller The going is the goal. Horace Kallen Who aims at excellence will be above mediocrity; who aims at mediocrity will be far short of it. Burmese Saying In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia. Author Unknown Dont bunt. Aim out of the ballpark. David Ogilvy 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 has achieved the second. Logan Pearsall Smith
