That man is the most loyal who aims at the noblest motive, and that motive the public good.
Virgil

Life is not a dress rehearsal - wake up every day excited to live out your purpose.
Andrew Wommack
Image
The aim of great books is ethical: to teach what it means to be a man. Every major form of literary art has taken for its deeper themes what T.S. Eliot called the permanent things-the norms of human action.
Russell Kirk
Image
There's no question young drivers have far more accidents than older ones - but is it our aim to keep them off the roads? Or to allow only rich young people (who can afford the premiums) to drive?
Andrew Tobias

Art is the lesser sister to medicine. It aims to heal.
Andrew Lam

Most companies aim to get bigger. But beyond a certain point, bigness becomes synonymous with badness. Think of Big Pharma, Big Auto, Big Oil. Worse, if you are regularly described as one of the Big Four, Five, or Six in any business sector, you are probably already in the sights of regulators and lawmakers.
Andrew Hill

I do think if you aim for quality, it's not so much about consumerism. The idea is 'Buy less, choose well, make it last.'
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Socialists cannot achieve their great aim without fighting against all oppression of nations.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction also represents a serious danger. If these weapons were to fall into the hands of terrorists, and they pursue this aim, the consequences would be simply disastrous.
Vladimir Putin

Our aims are absolutely clear: They are a high living standard in the country and a secure, free and comfortable life.

Whither should we aim if not towards God?
Andre Gide

What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of man can achieve with Positive Mental Attitude. It is a form of self-suggestion. It is a self-motivator to success. When it becomes a part of you, you dare to aim higher.
W. Clement Stone
Image
All men cannot go to college but some men must every isolated group or nation must have its yeast, must have for the talented few centers of training where men are not so mystified and befuddled by the hard and necessary toil of earning a living, as to have no aims higher than their bellies, and no God greater than Gold.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Image
Make it your moment-to-moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts, and being carried along by them.
Guy Finley
Image
You can not achieve an aim unless you have a method.
W. Edwards Deming
Image
I cannot see the short, white curls Upon the forehead of an Ox, But what I see them dripping with That poor thing's blood, and hear the ax When I see calves and lambs, I see Them led to death I see no bird Or rabbit cross the open field But what a sudden shot is heard A shout that tells me men aim true, For death or wound, doth chill me through.
W. H. Davies
Image
The military forces of the revolutionary adversary are diffuse. One is never sure whether one has destroyed them unless one is ready to destroy a large portion of the population, and this usually conflicts with the political aim of the war and hence also violates a fundamental Clausewitzian principle.
Anatol Rapoport
Image
There are directors who desire to be artistic. It is pathetic to compare the seriousness of their aim with the absurdity of their attainment.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
Wisdom is the power to perceive the best ends to aim at and the best means for reaching those ends.
Wallace D. Wattles
Image
You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
Walt Disney
Image
I resolved to abandon trade and to fix my aim on something more praiseworthy and stable whence it was that I made preparation for going to see part of the world and its wonders.
Amerigo Vespucci
Image
When did sentimental become a pejorative barb? I do not at all share the notion that a piece of music, or a poem, or a film that bypasses the brain and aims straight for the heart . . . should automatically be heaped with scorn. I think it is symptomatic of a sad and dangerous impoverishment of spirit.
Bill Richardson
Image
Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.
Walter Reisch
Image
aim, n. The task we set our wishes to.
