Quote for a new week...


philosopher's journeyIdeals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny.
-- Carl Schurz
general and politician (1829-1906)
(via A.W.A.D.)

I like the quote. We may never reach the stars, but we are guided by the stars. It means that, if we believe in something, we can try to do the best that what we can as individuals.

I really understand this parable. And I love it. In my opinion it means is “If we have the desire or believe in something, we should try to do the best all we can to achieve our goals and maximum results. The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want”.

Really nice quote! Anything is possible if we put our minds to it. Always work on your dreams and never give up.
