Every philharmonic orchestra merely interprets the composer. My goal was to create new music by that composer.

Living in a foreign country is one of those things that everyone should try at least once. My understanding was that it completed a person, sanding down the rough provincial edges and transforming you into a citizen of the world.

There would be a goal involved, and I like having goals.

Whatever your goal in life, unless you develop a great urgency, what could be near will be far away.

I don't like offending people, and it's easy to offend people when you don't know as much as they do. This group knows more about what it takes to lead in this way than I ever will. My goal is to push people, but I need to do it from a place of respect.
My goal is two pages a day, five days a week. I never want to write, but I'm always glad that I have done it. After I write, I go to work at the bookstore.
I am the most militaristic person but you have to know when to use the military. Or have it so strong that nobody is going to mess with you, which is my ultimate goal.
A little soul scarce fledged for earth Takes wing with heaven again for goal, Even while we hailed as fresh from birth A little soul.

Define your business goals clearly so that others can see them as you do.
Sometimes when I make a movie, my main goal is to show the movie to one particular director.
