Goals
Never keep up with the Joneses.
Drag them down to your level.
It's cheaper.
•Quentin Crisp
In absence of clearly defined goals,
we become strangely loyal to
performing daily acts of trivia.
•Unknown
It is not enough to reach for the brass ring.
You must also enjoy the merry go round.
•Julie Andrews
When aiming for the common denominator,
be prepared for the occasional division by zero.
•Unknown
The reason most people never reach their goals
is that they don't define them, or ever seriously
consider them as believable or achievable. Winners
can tell you where they are going, what they
plan to do along the way, and who will
be sharing the adventure with them.
•Denis Watley
You don't have to be a fantastic hero to do
certain things -- to compete. You can be
just an ordinary chap, sufficiently
motivated to reach challenging goals.
•Edmund Hillary
Our goals can only be reached through
a vehicle of a plan, in which we must
fervently believe, and upon which we
must vigorously act.
There is no other route to success.
•Stephen A. Brennan
When we are motivated by goals that
have deep meaning, by dreams that need
completion, by pure love that needs
expressing, then we truly live life.
•Greg Anderson
Without goals, and plans to reach
them, you are like a ship that
has set sail with no destination.
•Fitzhugh Dodson
You must accept that you might fail;
then, if you do your best and still don't win,
at least you can be satisfied that you've tried.
If you don't accept failure as a possibility,
you don't set high goals, and you don't branch out,
you don't try-you don't take the risk.
•Rosalynn Smith Carter
I feel that the most important step in
any major accomplishment is setting a
specific goal. This enables you to keep
your mind focused on your goal and
off the many obstacles that will arise
when you're striving to do your best.
•Kurt Thomas
Life's up and downs provide windows of
opportunity to determine your values
and goals. Think of using all obstacles as
stepping stones to build the life you want.
•Marsha Sinetar
In life, as in football, you won't go far unless
you know where the goalposts are.
•Arnold H. Glasgow
If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them
the best way I know how, everything else falls into line.
If I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed.
•Dan Dierdorf
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-
given talents, works his tail off to develop them into
skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.
•Larry Bird
Goals are dreams with deadlines.
•Diana Scharf Hunt
The American lives even more for his goals,
for the future, than the European. Life
for him is always becoming, never being.
•Albert Einstein
Often the search proves more
profitable than the goal.
•E. L. Konigsburg
Never look down to test the ground
before taking your next step; only he
who keeps his eye fixed on the far
horizon will find his right road.
•Dag Hammarskjold
You must have long term goals to
keep you from being
frustrated by short term failures.
•Charles C. Noble
Obstacles are those frightful things you see
when you take your eyes off your goals.
•Sydney Smith
The greater the loyalty of a group toward
the group, the greater is the motivation
among the members to achieve the goals
of the group, and the greater the probability
that the group will achieve its goals.
•Rensis Likert
If you're climbing the ladder of life, you
go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don't
look too far up, set your goals high but take
one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think
you're progressing until you step back
and see how high you've really gone.
•Donny Osmond
My philosophy of life is that if we make
up our mind what we are going to make
of our lives, then work hard toward that goal,
we never lose -- somehow we win out
•Ronald Reagan
Success is the progressive realization of
predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals.
•Paul Meyer
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.
•Seneca
Man is a goal seeking animal.
His life only has meaning if he is
reaching out and striving for his goals.
•Aristotle
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
achieve the second.
•Logan Pearsall Smith
If you're bored with life --
you don't get up every morning with
a burning desire to do things --
you don't have enough goals.
•Lou Holtz
Discipline is the bridge between
goals and accomplishment.
•Jim Rohn
If one advances confidently in the direction
of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life
which he has imagined, he will meet with
a success unexpected in common hours.
•Henry David Thoreau
You can't hit a home run unless you step up
to the plate. You can't catch a fish
unless you put your line in the water. You
can't reach your goals if you don't try.
•Kathy Seligman
Pursue one great decisive aim
with force and determination.
•Karl von Clausewitz
