First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.

Aristotle

Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.

John Dewey

The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work.

Oprah Winfrey

Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you're going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.

Oprah Winfrey

Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.

Herodotus

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Michael Jordan

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.

Louis Pasteur

A woman has got to be able to say, and not feel guilty, 'Who am I, and what do I want out of life?' She mustn't feel selfish and neurotic if she wants goals of her own, outside of husband and children.

Publilius Syrus

In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.

Robert A. Heinlein

Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly, naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't. You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.

Kathleen Norris

To will is to select a goal, determine a course of action that will bring one to that goal, and then hold to that action till the goal is reached. The key is action.

Michael Hanson

Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.

Michelangelo Buonarroti

It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.

Arnold Toynbee

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

Denis Watley

Forget goals. Value the process.

Jim Bouton

Goals too clearly defined can become blinkers.

Tom Morris

We find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.

Mario Andretti

Any person who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved, has already defined his own limitations.

Cavett Robert

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

Zig Ziglar

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

Confucius

Dreams, goals, ambitions - these are the stuff man uses for fuel.

L. Ron Hubbard

The Champions League was the top priority but coming back from two goals down is tough. We threw away our chances of advancing in the first leg.

Gianluigi Buffon

When I scored the two goals I was very fit and now I'm coming back, so I can't promise to score two goals.

Didier Drogba

The saves he made were good. The goals they (the Rebels) got were good goals.

Topper Mcfaun

I'm going to get a lot more goals this season. Give it to 'Brew.' He's going to need it.

Chris Richards

The trouble is now we have given four goals away from static situations.

George Cohen

I think their goals are set a little higher. They are going to be pretty competitive.

It was a big emotional game, ... We need to settle down and score more goals, but we'll take the 'W.'

Peter Browne

It definitely helps when you score two goals on your first game back.

Milan Hejduk

These are tough ones to swallow. It shouldn't take us to get down a couple goals to get everybody going.

Patrick Marleau

It would be useful to lay down an internationally agreed set of goals, benchmarks.

Ronald Neumann

Just look at how many clutch goals he has scored.

Taylor Chorney

It was nice to get five goals by five different guys. It's nice to get contributions from everybody.

Jason Chimera

We were 7-for-19 from the line. We did not do a good job of making free throws and although we had more field goals, we didn't box out well.

Jerry Groves

It was a perfect storm of talent, personalities, direction, goals and dominance.

Dan Hampton

Small goals are mostly individuals getting better, especially in the area of blocking, because we are so young.

As far as the type of goals that went in, she wasn't looking sharp.

At least we can measure whether the company is meeting its goals or not.

Les Funtleyder

The goals came easy tonight. We got a little goal happy in the second half.

Dan Kumetat

One of our goals was to be league champs. We talked about playing our best basketball at the end of the season and they are playing their best basketball. Our depth has won us a lot of games.

Keith Hennig

We wanted this. It was definitely one of our goals. We have a goal board, and this is up there on it.

Jim Rohn

Was to integrate the company, so all the creative juices and goals were the same.

Bonnie Hammer

Three goals down, 16 minutes into the game ? it was just too much to come back from.

Keith Tiemeyer

If your goals are blown out of proportion, you won't even want to get started.

Delma Smith

You can't spend 110 percent on something if you don't have that same hunger and drive. I have achieved all my goals -- my mission is complete.

Lennox Lewis

Both goals were because we were skating hard and created turnovers.

Oleg Kvasha

It's wonderful to accomplish this. This was one of our goals before the season started.

One of the goals of the Feminist Elite is to reinforce to women the idea that men are obsolete.

One of our goals was to try and frustrate them (on the perimeter) and I thought we had some success.

Blair Albright

He's a big, strong powerful centre-forward who definitely knows how to score goals.

Travis Jackson

Hopefully I can bring some more energy and I can give a couple more goals this season and hopefully we can make the playoffs.

We can't expect to get in the playoffs like this. We have to find a way to score some goals.

Nikki Goolsby

What a weekend, five goals and an assist.

Jeff Guinn

To be come fully alive a person must have goals and aims that transcend himself.

Jason Montgomery

(Of all my field goals), I'm proudest of that kick today. I can honestly say that.

David Akers

I can't score every game. I can't do something special every game. [But] my specialty is to score goals.

Alex Ovechkin

Last year, we had fewer than 10 goals. This year, we've scored 23 or 24 goals.

Chuck Elsea

He was our team and has been since he was a sophomore. He's been the guy we've counted on to score goals.

Dave Falkenberg

We had our minds set on it all year. I'm glad I could go out and accomplish these goals.

Ryan Lochte

[Winning] the national championship is really one of our goals.

Collin Wallace

We need to find a way to manufacture goals. One goal won't cut it against North.

Sid Leytham

When you concede dumb goals, you've usually got to pay a price.

John Kosmina

We had 17 games and we gave up 15 goals. It was one of our best defensive efforts in probably five or six years and Sherry was a key.

She had much more control tonight. She set some goals and met them. She pitched extremely well.

Debbie Holcombe

What it means for the bid, in order for GM to accomplish its goals, is that KKR needs to find another bank.

Pete Hastings

One of our main goals was to beat Aynor. The team functioned well. They did excellent in that match.

Jonathan Willard

Holly is getting a lot of the limelight because of all those goals. But if Caitlin wasn't there, you could probably take away half of those goals.

Art Weaver

The team did very well. (Amanda) swam very well and achieved her goals.

Julie Fleet

We played extremely well for the first 40 minutes. We basically controlled the first half, and scored two goals.

Steve Towne

What can I say? We were not good enough. We gave a lot of goals in the last minute and that can't happen.

That's something we're all working on. If everyone in here had a couple more goals, we'd be right up there.

Chuck Kobasew

We wanted to be focused and wanted to come out and get a win because it wraps up the conference title. Now we have to re-focus a little bit. This was one of three goals for us.

Jacques Martin

For 16 shots, to score six goals is a lot of goals. But most of the scoring was on errors.

Mike Voss

We're not going to settle with what we have achieved so far. We are going to reset our goals and over achieve.

Chad Mcgehee

Rachael was on her game. (All of the goals) were not completely her fault. There were marking issues.

Belinda Stone

It's very disappointing to give up soft goals. It is just a frustrating way to start a game.

When we set goals; they work in two ways, we work on them and they work on us.

Bob Moawad

We've sat down and had some nice talks and set some definite goals with this group. We should be the team to beat in the conference.

He's a role player guy. He's scored two big goals against Houston.

Paul Jerrard

They learn about goals and what it takes to achieve something like that.

Once we got up early on them with those three goals, we just stuck with what we were doing.

Brian Gionta

He scored two real nice goals and set up two nice ones as our captain.

Melissa Garey

This is one of the goals, to strengthen and integrate the Hispanic community.

Ana Bauserman

Our goals for 2006 are major a new fire station and the expansion of Freedom Library.

Our goals are to keep getting better, and when we get to that conference tournament we want to be playing well.

Pam Decosta

I think I'll take my record of 13 goals to the grave.

Just Fontaine

It was pretty nice to slip down there and kick a couple of goals.

Adam Hunter

It's been an exciting year. I had always been very good at setting goals, but I didn't follow up on a lot of them. But I always set them high.

Ryan Hietala

Those are some of the older guys I would count on to put some goals in the back of the net for us.

Tino Scicluna

The absence of goals is a false problem for him.

Carlo Ancelotti

I think it's his drive. He wants to achieve a lot. He has some goals that he doesn't talk about.

We set goals at the beginning of the season. They haven't changed. We're all still working for the same things.

We've set our goals awfully high.

Oliver Drake

They had the two back-door goals and the breakaway. It really wasn't his fault.

Paul Fassbender

Their first two goals were terrible. Our defense played awful.

Peter Doherty

The first period was very good for us. We got two big goals and we had good defense in the third period. It was a big win for us.

Jussi Jokinen

If we had scored those goals early, we would have finished them early.

Bob Clague

We passed it to them on the first one. We gave them a couple of goals. You give that team a couple of goals . . . And we didn't take care of our chances. We had our chances there, and we just didn't put them in.

Dustin Dahlquist

We had some good passing and a couple of beautiful goals.

Rob Gooch

That had been one of my goals, since I was a freshman. For me to have a good game like that and to have an overtime win, it was just so exciting.

Allie Woods

She is off to a good start, ... and with savings discipline, she has a good chance of achieving her goals.

One of our goals is to be done this summer, possibly by July.

Carl Kremer

We will never have quotas in this city as long as I am mayor, but we will darn sure have goals.

Tuomo Ruutu

It was one of the best goals I ever scored.

Carlos Gracida

The team played very well and I was delighted to help out with three goals.

Ronaldinho

I'd give Leland about a C grade for the game. I don't think he gave up a lot of bad goals where you would give him a D or an F, but he didn't make the big saves when he had to, either.

Kevin Constantine

We will have to raise our level a lot. If we allow them as much room as we did Dortmund they will score goals.

Jesse Schultz

That's where we're getting our goals. That's where it's been working for us.

Nikki Green

I'm confident we'll meet all our goals.

Jill Miller

Coach K. at Duke would always say that going undefeated was not one of their goals. Winning a national championship was a goal. Going undefeated was never one of our goals, either.

Dave Fredrickson

That was one of our long-range goals for the season.

Dan Dougherty

I feel great about my game. I've set some lofty goals, and I'm ready to start getting after them.

Francois Beauchemin

We have a different approach in our longevity goals.

Jermaine Williams

It (winning the tournament) was one of our goals, and I've never been in a championship game. Coach told us it was a different game. This was more important; it was for a championship.

We played well as a group. We had some nice goals.

Buddy Carroll

Considering I didn't have three goals prior to this game, it was definitely exciting to have three in one game. I don't know what else to say.

Brandon Bochenski

I would have bet anything that he was going to win. This has always been a goal of mine, so I've accomplished one of my goals already.

Orlando Hudson

Each individual has his own set of goals and if they can accomplish those goals, then the team will be all right. That's the only way you can approach it and you'll see where you end up.

Brad Meyer

We have some goals at the beginning of the year. We wanted to play with our hearts, and they did.

Chris Joseph

We're finally getting those crossing passes out to her. Of course Carolyn's scored all of our goals ... but we'll take that.

Daniel Rich

Goals will lift you up or bring you down. They're going to kill you, those goals.

Herculez Gomez

The defense stepped up huge. Three goals (Friday), no goals (Saturday) - that's huge.

Alex Wheeler

They've been putting a lot of goals in the net. That'll be another big gauge of where we are right now.

Joe Mccarthy

You're happy with the tie because you were down by two with eight minutes to go, but you're not happy that you score five goals and only get a tie. Give our girls credit. We never quit.

We have vision, we adopted goals and have set specific benchmarks on how we're going to address them and we have a cooperative superintendent.

Christine Schild

The goals of this program are extremely challenging and success is uncertain.
