What is your aim in philosophy? To show the fly the way out of the fly-bottle.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What leads to unhappiness, is making pleasure the chief aim.
William Shenstone
When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet. When the French make movies, they aim at Paris.
Jean-Jacques Annaud
When I was teaching at Harvard in the 1970s, I went to Project Incorporated in Cambridge and took photography classes. I didn't even know how to aim the camera in those days.
Ann Beattie
When I write down my thoughts, they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.
Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont
When I write, I aim in my mind not toward New York but toward a vague spot a little to the east of Kansas.
John Updike
When we rehearse, we're always trying to aim for something else. But we never quite succeed in getting there.
Colin Greenwood
Whether the aim is in heaven or on earth, wisdom or wealth, the essential condition of its pursuit and attainment is always security and order.
Johan Huizinga
Whoever sees no other aim in the game than that of giving checkmate to one's opponent will never become a good Chess player.
Max Euwe
Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom is the source of virtue and of fame; obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.
Alfred North Whitehead
Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom the source of virtue, and of fame, obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.
William Whitehead
Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.
Lord Chesterfield
Would that the simple maxim, that honesty is the best policy, might be laid to heart; that a sense of the true aim of life might elevate the tone of politics and trade till public and private honor become identical.
Margaret Fuller
You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.
E. O. Wilson
You can't climb up to the second floor without a ladder. When you set your aim too high and don't fulfill it, then your enthusiasm turns to bitterness. Try for a goal that's reasonable, and then gradually raise it.
Emil Zatopek
You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.
Jeanne Moreau
You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
Walt Disney
Your aim will be knowledge and wisdom, not the reflected glamour of fame.
Abbott L. Lowell
