The individual feels the futility of human desires and aims and the sublimity and marvelous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world of thought.
Albert Einstein
Image
Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.
Albert Einstein
Image
Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.
W. H. Auden
Image
Thinking of the future, establishing aims for oneself, having preferences-all this presupposes a belief in freedom, even if one occasionally ascertains that one doesn't feel it.
Albert Camus
Image
I have said as much as that the aim of art was to destroy the curse of labour by making work the pleasurable satisfaction of our impulse towards energy, and giving to that energy hope of producing something worth its exercise.
William Morris
Image
Some people suggest that the problem is the separation of powers. If you had a parliamentary system, the struggle for power would not result in such complex peace treaties that empower so many different people to pursue so many contradictory aims
James Q. Wilson
Image
In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.
William Penn
Image
The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values.
William Ralph Inge
Image
One of the most useful tasks of apology is to bring home to us how keenly, honestly, and painfully past generations pursued aims that now seem to us wrong and disgraceful. It behooves us to consider if future geenrations will similarly regard the aims we most defend today.
John Kador
Image
If there is a virtue in the world at which we should always aim, it is cheerfulness.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Image
I fly close to my man, aim well and then of course he falls down.
Oswald Boelcke
Image
At the root of the assault on our liberties is, in fact, an assault on our character--an assault that assumes that we are not good enough to be free, and that aims to make sure that we are no longer strong enough, courageous enough, disciplined enough to be a free people.
Alan Keyes
Image
Nothing important was ever accomplished without chutzpah. Columbus had chutzpah. The signers of the Declaration of Independence had chutzpah. Don't ever aim doubt at yourself. Laugh at yourself, but don't doubt yourself.
Alan Alda
Image
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself.
Alan Alda
Image
The right to take a chance, the right to suffer. The right to be unwise, the right to die. These aims are hateful to the government, which values ever frightened mouse and falling sparrow as equal to a tiger burning bright.
Fritz Leiber
Image
An art, which has an aim to achieve the beauty, is called a philosophy or in the absolute sense it is named wisdom.
Al-Farabi
Image
Life is indeed either a rich possession or a poor, according as it is made subservient to noble aims or ignoble pleasures.
Christian Nestell Bovee
Image
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Image
Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, And, even with something of a mother's mind, And no unworthy aim, The homely nurse doth all she can To make her foster child, her inmate man, Forget the glories he hath known And that imperial palace whence he came.
William Wordsworth
Image
Perception of ideas, rather than the storing of them, should be the aim of education.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
You are a mirror of the Almighty...this is the reason you were created...your purpose.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
The aim of the scholarly editor is not to produce the the easiest text for the reader, but to get as near as he can to the text of the author.
Frederic G. Kenyon
Image
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.
Ricardo Semler
Image
At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.
