Famous quotes containing the word goal:
“Not every end is a goal. The end of a melody is not its goal: but nonetheless, had the melody not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A parable.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I have the same goal I’ve had ever since I was a girl. I want to rule the world.”
—Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1958)
“Our goal as a parent is to give life to our children’s learning—to instruct, to teach, to help them develop self-discipline—an ordering of the self from the inside, not imposition from the outside. Any technique that does not give life to a child’s learning and leave a child’s dignity intact cannot be called discipline—it is punishment, no matter what language it is clothed in.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
