It isn't a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.
The tragedy of this life is not failure, but low aim.
. . . the circumference of life cannot be rightly drawn until the center is set.
Whatever you do,strive to do it so well that no man living and no man dead and no man yet to be born could do it any better.
Man is what his dreams are.
He who starts behind in the great race of life must forever remain behind or run faster than the man in front.
