We must have ideals and try to live up to them, even if we never quite succeed. Life would be a sorry business without them. With them it's grand and great.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our ideals are our better selves.
It's impossible to consider living without ideals. However, when ideas lead to ideology, that's a very dangerous thing. Ideology then leads to creating the image of an enemy, and it leads to the murder and massacre that we've seen since the beginning of time.
Ideals are like the stars: we never reach them, but like the mariners of the sea, we chart our course by them.
Ideals are the world's masters.
We shall have to practise to lead our life on the basis of our needs, not under the influence of our greed.
I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.
Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.
Don't use that foreign word 'ideals.' We have that excellent native word 'lies.'
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
