Best Quotes about Goals

Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only those who keep their eye fixed on the far horizon will find their right road.

Hammarskjold, Dag

The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.

Bristol, Claude M.
