“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism; had we never sinned we should have had no conscience. Were defeat unknown, neither would victory be celebrated by songs of triumph.

The eternal stars shine out again, so soon as it is dark enough.

No person is important enough to make me angry.

Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.

They only are wise who know that they know nothing.

Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.

Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.

One life; a little gleam of Time between two Eternities; no second chance to us for evermore!

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are.

Speech is silver, silence is golden.

Not what you possess but what you do with what you have, determines your true worth.

Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.

Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.

A person with a clear purpose will make progress, even on the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress, even on the smoothest road.

Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.

The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity. The believing man is the original man; whatsoever he believes, he believes it for himself, not for another.

You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.

Goal begins with “GO.”

Sound strategy starts with having the right goal

Setting up a system that rewards you for meeting your goals and has penalties for failing to hit your target is just as important as putting your goals down on paper.

Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life.

The first step to achieving your goal, is to take a moment to respect your goal. Know what it means to you to achieve it.

Who is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? All these questions remain unanswered. I want to reach the genuine seeker of spiritual well-being. My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.

If your goal is anything but profitability – if it’s to be big, or to grow fast, or to become a technology leader – you’ll hit problems.
