"A goal is not always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at." ~Bruce Lee

“Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim” ~Graham Greene
"Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it." ~Emily Dickinson

ASPIRATION

"Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead." ~Louisa May Alcott
"How do we develop a culture of responsibility and accountability - amidst the prevailing culture of opportunism, populism, papogi-ism and in the face of competing claims of various other 'isms'? After the euphoria of Pope Francis' visit, it seems that aspirations of positive, emotive, and accountable change have just dissipated into thin bubbles of air. It seems that both institutional and behavioral change are a long way to go - and would remain an aspiration than reality." ~Imelda Deinla
"It is not for man to rest in absolute contentment. He is born to hopes and aspirations as the sparks fly upward, unless he has brutified his nature and quenched the spirit of immortality which is his portion." ~Southey
“Keep high aspirations, moderate expectations and small needs.” ~H. Stein
"To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to." ~Khalil Gibran
"True beauty is born through our actions and aspirations and in the kindness we offer to others." ~Alek Wek
"What greater aspiration and challenge are there for a mother than the hope of raising a great son or daughter?" ~Rose Kennedy
“What is the point of worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one's life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that is in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment." ~Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day fom Everyman's Library
"Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities." ~Sue Ebaugh
"Your aspirations are your possibilities." ~Dr. Samuel Johnson
