A Tragedy Of Life


The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal.

The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.

It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream.

It is not disgrace to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.

Not failure, but low aim, is a sin. It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goal.

The tragedy of life lies in having no goal to reach." --Dr. Benjamin E. Mayes
