  • "The most important thing about having goals is having one."
    -- Geoffrey F. Abert

  • "It takes a little courage, and a little self-control. And some grim determination, If you want to reach the goal. It takes a deal of striving, and a firm and stern-set chin. No matter what the battle, If you really want to win. There's no easy path to glory, There's no road to fame. Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But it's prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit; For a rugged disposition and don't know when to quit."
    -- Anonymous

  • "No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless."
    -- Bette Davis

  • "A goal is a dream that has an ending. "
    -- Duke Ellington

    -- Elbert Hubbard

    -- Ralph Vaull Starr
