Slight not what 's near through aiming at what's far.
--
Rhesus (c. 435 BC) line 482.Euripides
Perhaps I am more than usually jealous with respect to my freedom. I feel that my connection with and obligation to society are still very slight and transient. Those slight labors which afford me a livelihood, and by which it is allowed that I am to some extent serviceable to my contemporaries, are as yet commonly a pleasure to me, and I am not often reminded that they are a necessity. So far I am successful. But I foresee, that, if my wants should be much increased, the labor required to supply them would become a drudgery. If I should sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I am sure, that, for me, there would be nothing left worth living for.
Henry David Thoreau
To talk without thinking is to shoot without aiming.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
One may as much miss the Mark, by aiming too high, as too low.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
I do see myself as aiming to foment some kind of revolution.
Martin Firrell
The art of dining well is no slight art, the pleasure not a slight pleasure.
