One does not study for a goal. One sings because one can't help it! The 'goal' nine times out of ten is a mere accident.

If the student could give up her work on my advice, she had better give it up without it. One does not study for a goal. The goal is a mere accident.

The goal wasn't to be a millionaire or to be a Hollywood star. That was not the goal. The goal was something about - the goal was to find the goal, but I knew where it was.

James Earl Jones

I think everyone needs a goal. And what kind of goal will be important. And for that we have to study and we have to be intelligent.

Tadao Ando

The score is high and very brutal but does not reflect what we saw on the pitch. The first shot on goal was a goal. The second was an own goal. The third was straight after half-time. They defend like mad and they catch us on the break.

Arsene Wenger

Everybody wants to have a goal - I gotta get to that goal, I gotta get to that goal, I gotta get to that goal. I can finally get to that goal. Then you get to that goal, and then you gotta get to another goal. But in between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed - and if you don't, you're a fool.

Sid Caesar

Ours is a divine journey; therefore, this journey has neither a beginning nor an end... This journey has a goal, but it does not stop at any goal, for it has come to realise that today's goal is only the starting point of tomorrow's journey.

Sri Chinmoy

My response [to fear of being poor]was to study contracts, finance, economics, to plan, to have a goal, to work on that goal. To learn everything I could. I always poked at the things that scared me most.

Elizabeth Warren

One does not advance when one walks toward no goal, or - which is the same thing - when his goal is infinity.

Emile Durkheim

I have always said that a striker scores a goal but not every goal is scored by a striker. A goalkeeper can make a mistake which is a goal, but every goal still goes past him and you have to accept that.

Simon Mignolet

You really have to have a goal. The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal. Know what it is you want to find out.

Zaha Hadid

The value of the goal lies in the goal itself; and therefore the goal cannot be attained unless it is pursued for its own sake.

Arnold J. Toynbee

When you come to a new club you always want to score, and the first goal is special. It doesn't matter how the goal is scored, but important is the goal's worth.

Bruno Fernandes

As teachers and coaches, we must remember that when mere winning is our only goal, we are doomed to disappointment and failure. But when our goal is to try to win, when our focus is on preparation and sacrifice and effort instead of on numbers on a scoreboard then we will never lose.

Mike Krzyzewski

We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don't know where you're aiming, you don't have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared.
