Man cannot aspire if he looked down; if he rise, he must look up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A man needs to look, not down, but up to standards set so much above his ordinary self as to make him feel that he is himself spiritually the underdog.
If a man constantly aspires is he not elevated?
No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.
He who looks the higher is the more highly distinguished, and turning over the great book of nature (which is the proper object of philosophy) is the way to elevate one's gaze.
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.
Men may rise on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things.
You'll never rise any higher than the way you see yourself.
A wise man sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can.
Be wise; soar not too high to fall; but stoop to rise.
What goes up must come down.
