Famous quotes containing the word aims:

    Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.
    Leo Tolstoy (1829–1910)

    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.)

    Nature seems to have treasured up the depth of our mind talents and abilities that we are not aware of; it is the privilege of the passions alone to bring them to light, and to direct us sometimes to surer and more excellent aims than conscious effort could.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
