Setting Quotations
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.
Michelangelo
Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
William Shakespeare
Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.
Ronald Reagan

Thomas Jefferson
Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.
Tony Robbins
Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.
Ron Paul
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
Ayn Rand
