Aim Quotes - page 8

Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth. (Jean-Paul Sartre)

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Aim at being loved without being admired. View quote
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The aim of the book is to set a limit to thought, or rather - not to thought, but to the expression of thoughts: for in order to be able to set a limit to thought, we should have to find both sides of the limit thinkable (i. e. we should have to be able to think what cannot be thought). It will therefore only be in language that the limit can be set, and what lies on the other side of the limit will simply be nonsense. View quote
Ludwig Wittgenstein
In a milieu of resignation, where the young men think of society as a closed room in which there are no values but the rejected rat race, ... it is extremely hard to aim at objective truth or world culture. One's own products are likely to be personal or parochial. View quote
Paul Goodman
The aim is not to give human beings real goals that warrant belief, and tasks to share in, but to re-establish "belonging,” although this kind of speech and thought is precisely calculated to avoid contact and so makes belonging impossible. View quote
Paul Goodman
..."originality” is everyone's aim, and novel techniques are as much prized as new scientific discoveries. [T. S. ] Eliot states it with surprising naïveté: "It is exactly as wasteful for a poet to do what has been done already as for a biologist to rediscover Mendel's discoveries.”. View quote
Randall Jarrell

Neal Shusterman
The aim is to postpone frailty, postpone degenerative disease, debilitation and so on and thereby shorten the period at the end of life, which is passed in a decrepit or disabled state, while extending life as a whole. View quote
Aubrey de Grey
All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible. (Orison Swett Marden)
You need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You must develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. Try to do things that you're incapable of... If you think you're incapable of running a company, make that your aim... Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible. View quote
Paul Arden
People are too keen to follow standard preconceptions of how organisations should work. All too often, we feel that we are unable to make changes and so hope that someone, somewhere in your organisation knows what we are doing and what the overall aim is. View quote
Ricardo Semler

The tiger lies low not from fear, but for aim. ~Wren. View quote
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Do not waste time trying to overcome your weaknesses and failures. Simply raise your consciousness, transcend and free your thoughts from limitation and illusion, and find within the very center of your being a wholeness and completeness! Cease wallowing in your imperfections and never accept limitations! Aim high, and you will get there. It is only your thoughts that hold you back. View quote
Eileen Caddy
It is extremely dangerous to talk about limits or borders. It is vital, instead, that we remain completely open, that we are always involved, and that we aim to contribute personally in social events. View quote
Dario Fo
Do not aim low, you will miss the mark. Aim high and you will be on a threshold of bliss. View quote
B.K.S. Iyengar
The aim of medicine is to prevent disease and prolong life, the ideal of medicine is to eliminate the need of a physician. (William J. Mayo)
No matter what measures are taken, doctors will sometimes falter, and it isn't reasonable to ask that we achieve perfection. What is reasonable is to ask that we never cease to aim for it. View quote
Atul Gawande
Our aim may be as high as the endless sky, but we should have a resolve in our minds to walk ahead, hand-in-hand, for victory will be ours. View quote
Atal Bihari Vajpayee
People ask me often [whether] the Nobel Prize [was] the thing you were aiming for all your life, and I say that would be crazy. Nobody would aim for a Nobel Prize because, if you didn't get it, your whole life would be wasted. What we were aiming at was getting people well, and the satisfaction of that is much greater than any prize you can get. View quote
Gertrude B. Elion
