Happiness, wealth, and success are byproducts of goal setting; they cannot be the goal themselves. – Denis Waitley

Always the rationalization is the same – “Once this situation is remedied, then I will be happy.” But it never works that way in reality: the goal is achieved, but the person who reaches it is not the same person who dreamed it. The goal was static, but the person’s identity was dynamic. – Phillip Moffit

American business needs a lifting purpose greater than the struggle of materialism. – Herbert Hoover

In the long run men hit only what they aim at. – Henry David Throeau

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. – Oscar Wilde

The want of a thing is perplexing enough, but the possession of it is intolerable. – John Vanbrugh

Being frustrated is disagreeable, but the real disasters of life begin when you get what you want. – Irving Kristol
