Famous quotes containing the word aims:
“But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A lie is real; it aims at success. A liar is a realist.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“The aims of life are the best defense against death.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
