Aims

Famous quotes containing the word aims:

    Whoever aims publicly at great things and at length perceives secretly that he is too weak to achieve them, has usually also insufficient strength to renounce his aims publicly, and then inevitably becomes a hypocrite.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    A lie is real; it aims at success. A liar is a realist.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    Since he aims at great souls, he cannot miss. But if someone should slander me in this way, no one would believe him. For envy goes against the powerful. Yet slight men, apart from the great, are but a weak bulwark.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
