Natural selection operates according to immediate circumstances and not toward a long-term goal. Homo sapiens did eventually evolve as a descendent of the first humans, but there was nothing inevitable about it. (Richard Leakey)
The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings. View quote
Masanobu Fukuoka
Industrial production, the flow of resources in the economy, the exertion of military effort in a war, the management of finances --all require the coordination of interrelated activities. What these complex undertakings share in common is the task of constructing a statement of actions to be performed, their timing and quantity (called a program or schedule), that, if implemented, would move the system from a given initial status as much as possible towards some defined goal.

George Dantzig
The one reasonable goal of social life was affirmed to be the creation of a world of awakened, of sensitive, intelligent, and mutually understanding personalities, banded together for the common purpose of exploring the universe and developing the human spirit's manifold potentialities. View quote
Olaf Stapledon
Most men do not feel in themselves the competence required for leading their group to victory, and therefore seek out a captain who appears to possess the courage and sagacity necessary for the achievement of supremacy. Even in religion this impulse appears. Nietzsche accused Christianity of inculcating a slave-morality, but ultimate triumph was always the goal. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." View quote
Bertrand Russell
We shall never stop until we can go back home and Israel is destroyed... The goal of our struggle is the end of Israel, and there can be no compromises or mediations... the goal of this violence is the elimination of Zionism from Palestine in all its political, economic and military aspects... We don't want peace, we want victory. Peace for us means Israel's destruction and nothing else. View quote
Yasser Arafat
Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? You should know that this slogan, this goal, can certainly be achieved. View quote
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Our dreams of bringing the whole of human history under the control of the human will are ironically refuted by the fact that no group of idealists can easily move the pattern of history toward the desired goal of peace and justice. The recalcitrant forces in the historical drama have a power and persistence beyond our reckoning. View quote
Reinhold Niebuhr
My goal was never to make Facebook cool. View quote
Mark Zuckerberg
Man is not to be comprehended as a starting-point, or progress as a goal, without those two great forces, Faith and Love . Prayer is sublime. View quote
Albert Pike
Today, near the end of my days, I want to say that I harbor no rancor against anybody, that I love my fatherland above all and that I take political responsibility for everything that was done which had no other goal than making Chile greater and avoiding its disintegration. I assume full political responsibility for what happened. (Augusto Pinochet)
Anti-Islamist Muslims - who wish to live modern lives, unencumbered by burqas, fatwas and violent visions of jihad - are on the defensive and atomized. However eloquent, their individual voices cannot compete with the roar of militant Islam's determination, money (much of it from overseas) and violence. As a result, militant Islam, with its West-phobia and goal of world hegemony, dominates Islam in the West and appears to many to be the only kind of Islam. View quote
Daniel Pipes
A goal properly set is halfway reached. View quote
Zig Ziglar
If you want to reach a goal, you must "see the reaching" in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal. View quote

Michael Jordan
When men are arrived at the goal, they should not turn back. View quote
Plutarch
Putting women in military combat is the cutting edge of the feminist goal to force us into an androgynous society. View quote
Phyllis Schlafly
It goes without saying that the Jewish people can have no other goal than Palestine and that, whatever the fate of the proposition may be, our attitude toward the land of our fathers is and shall remain unchangeable. View quote
Theodor Herzl
I have never been one of those who cares about happiness. Happiness is a strange notion. I am just not made for it. It has never been a goal of mine; I do not think in those terms. View quote
Werner Herzog
Because we are denied knowledge of our history, we are deprived of standing upon each other's shoulders and building upon each other's hard earned accomplishments. Instead we are condemned to repeat what others have done before us and thus we continually reinvent the wheel. The goal of The Dinner Party is to break this cycle. (Judy Chicago)
Fame is not the glory; virtue is the goal, and Fame only a messenger to bring more to the fold. View quote
Vanna Bonta
Human vanity cherishes the absurd notion that our species is the final goal of evolution. View quote
Richard Dawkins
Most of what we strive for in our modern life uses the apparatus of goal seeking that was originally set up to seek goals in the state of nature. View quote
Richard Dawkins
Not to the curious or impatient soulThat in the start, demands the end be shown,And at each step, stops waiting for a sign;But to the tireless toiler toward the goal,Shall the great miracles of God be knownAnd life revealed, immortal and divine. View quote
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
