We, whoever we are, must have a daily goal in our lives, no matter how small or great, to make that day mean something.

It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly.

You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures.

And set his heart upon the goal, Not on the prize.

If we have not achieved our early dreams, we must either find new ones or see what we can salvage from the old. If we have accomplished what we set out to do in our youth, then we need not weep like Alexander the Great that we have no more worlds to conquer. There is clearly much left to be done, and whatever else we are going to do, we had better get on with it.

One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.

We can only reach our goal amid bloodletting
