If you don't know where you are going, how can you expect to get there?
The only people who attain power are those who crave for it.
In this life we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice.
You seldom get what you go after unless you know in advance what you want.
Where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incident, chaos will soon reign.
A life that hasn't a definite plan is likely to become driftwood.
Only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find his right road.
Fortunate is the person who has developed the self-control to steer a straight course toward his objective in life, without being swayed from his purpose by either commendation or condemnation.
Nothing is more terrible than activity without insight.
If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
Aim at nothing and you'll succeed.
The purpose of life is life.
Goals are dreams with deadlines.
So long as I believe I have to do certain things, I will just go right ahead. That's how I run my life.
A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.
You decide what it is you want to accomplish and then you lay out your plans to get there, and then you just do it. It's pretty straightforward.
What does so-called success or failure matter if only you have succeeded in doing the thing you set out to do. The doing is all that really counts.
Get out of the blocks, run your race, stay relaxed. If you run your race, you'll win. Channel your energy. Focus.
Know what you want to do-then do it. Make straight for your goal and go undefeated in spirit to the end.
