“The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”

“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.”

“The greatest risk to man is not that he aims too high and misses, but that he aims too low and hits.”

“For most of us the problem isn’t that we aim too high and fail - it’s just the opposite - we aim too low and succeed.”

“Most people fail in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.”

“The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim-for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives -is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal.”
