If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
The greater damage for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it it too low and we reach it.
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
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.
