Best Quotes about Goals

The capabilities of the human mind are enormous. There is usually no inherent reason you cannot accomplish whatever goal you set for yourself.

Mccarthy, Michael J.

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Maltz, Maxwell

It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.

It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is a sin

Mayes, Benjamin E.

Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead.

Lakein, Alan

Setting an exciting goal is like setting a needle in your compass. From then on, the compass knows only one point-its ideal. And it will faithfully guide you there through the darkest nights and fiercest storms.
