Goal Striving

Famous quotes containing the words goal and/or striving:

“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)

“Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
