Famous quotes containing the word goal:

    “From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.”
    —Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

    “Oh yet we trust that somehow good
    Will be the final goal of ill,
    To pangs of nature, sins of will,
    Defects of doubt, and taints of blood;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “It is the goal of the American university to be the brains of the republic.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
