It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach. For not failure, but low aim is the sin.
— Dr. Benjamin E. Mays

This quote inspires me a lot but I somehow see myself as nothing more than a personification of this saying. If you wanted to see a living/walking example of what he is saying here, you'd just have to know me and it would be all to clear.
Thanks a lot, SAD!!!
