Famous quotes containing the words aims and/or objectives:

    “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)

    “Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
