If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.
Slight not what's near through aiming at what's far.
Aim high, and you won't shoot your foot off.
To aim and hit, you need one eye only, and one good finger.
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
Either you have the ability to hit or not. But I also think you have to work at it.
I feel it's important to make a mark somewhere.
If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time.
