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

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.

Balancing hopes, desires and an appreciating of the possibilities with a clear-eyed assessment of the limitations: that is the art of choosing.

We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.

You have to be the one setting your own goals, trying to achieve those goals.

A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.

If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.

No matter how many goals you have achieved, you must set your sights on a higher one.

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.

Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.
