I think people who want to use genetic technologies to gain a competitive edge for their children are engaging in a kind of overreaching that could really undermine our appreciation of children as gifts for which we should be grateful and, instead, to view them as products or instruments that are there to be molded and directed.

Fear is at the root of so many of the barriers that women face. Fear of not being liked. Fear of making the wrong choice. Fear of drawing negative attention. Fear of overreaching. Fear of being judged. Fear of failure. And the holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daughter.

My biggest fear is overreaching. I have been in situations where I felt swamped, and it's turned out really well and I've had other situations where I've had to walk off the film after five minutes because I realized I was in way over my head.

The pulpit only teaches to be honest the market-place trains to overreaching and fraud and teaching has not a tithe of the efficiency of training. Christ never wrote a tract, but He went about doing good.

The greatest assassin of life is haste, the desire to reach things before the right time which means overreaching them.
