Goals

“I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.”

“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task.”

“Aim at Heaven and you will get Earth thrown in. Aim at Earth and you will get neither.”

What do you do if you want to run in a marathon, but haven’t ever taken one single step because of a debilitating physical handicap? What do you do if you want to send a message to the world, but can’t even muster control of your own voice? The answer is “nothing.”

That is, unless you have Dick Hoyt as your father.
