Ten of My Favorite Quotes About Goals

2. Napoleon Hill

3. Zig Ziglar

"Goals are dreams we convert to plans and take action to fulfill."

4. Unknown author

"Goals that are not written down are just wishes."

5. Jim Rohn

"Goals. There's no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them. There's no telling what you can do when you believe in them. There's no telling what will happen when you act upon them."

6. Mark Victor Hansen

"Big goals get big results. No goals get no results or somebody else's results."

7. Seneca

8. Norman Vincent Peale

9. Author unknown

10. Milton Berle

"I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has-been was once an are."
