Famous quotes containing the word aims:

    A lie is real; it aims at success. A liar is a realist.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    Our age is pre-eminently the age of sympathy, as the eighteenth century was the age of reason. Our ideal men and women are they, whose sympathies have had the widest culture, whose aims do not end with self, whose philanthropy, though centrifugal, reaches around the globe.
    Frances E. Willard 1839–1898, U.S. president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union 1879-1891, author, activist. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 137-40 (January 1887)

    We are often reminded that if there were bestowed on us the wealth of Crsus, our aims must still be the same, and our means essentially the same.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
