The objective is always to win.

My first objective is to win against No. 1 in the world.

Any system that is built on a false understanding of human nature is doomed to fail. Building a society where the primary objective is to protect one’s fragile self-esteem from the dangers of competition will only lead to a society of weakness, entitlement, and apathy. Life is necessarily competitive; society is necessarily hierarchical. It does no one any favors to pursue a utopian vision of society where no one’s feelings are hurt.

Obviously, I am hoping to go on and win many trophies for Spurs and for England. That’s always been the aim since I was a kid, dreaming of lifting the trophy one day for them, so that’s what I’ve got to do.

I want to go and get more goals, create my chances for the team, and do my best for Tottenham Hotspur.

Every opportunity that presents itself, my main objective is to conquer and be victorious.

Obviously, given the objective that we have, what I would hope is that people would be able to see that actually we had reduced the numbers of people, the net number of people, coming into the country. People would, presumably, see that, but it’s difficult to say how.

Now all my tales are based on the fundemental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large…. To achieve the essence of real externality, whether of time or space or dimension, one must forget that such things as organic life, good and evil, love and hate, and all such local attributes of a negligible and temporary race called mankind, have any existence at all.

For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.

We started off with a set of objectives for what we needed to communicate with the company’s identity, created several proposals intended to meet those objectives, and picked the one that did the best job.

You need to know what you’re aiming for in order to reach it.

Conceptuality is subjective; realization is objective.

A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.

Institutions mistake good intentions for objectives. They say “health care”; that’s an intention, not an objective.

Management by objective works – if you know the objectives. Ninety percent of the time you don’t.

Choose the mountain you want to climb: don’t pay attention to what other people say, such as “that one’s more beautiful” or “this one’s easier”. You’ll be spending lots of energy and enthusiasm to reach your objective, so you’re the only one responsible and you should be sure of what you’re doing.

I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy, and an objective.

It’s great to be able to come in every day and work out, review videos, and practice with guys who all have the same objective in mind.

Show me an objective worthy of war and I will go along with you.

I’ve always said I learned to defend myself from an opponent coming for a hard hit. Tricks are part of my repertoire; I use them to try to get past my opponents, but the objective is always to score goals.

Don’t fight a battle if you don’t gain anything by winning.

Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in night

My main objective in the fight is to be a professional but to kill him.

My music became even more meaningful when I had my daughter. It helped me to see more of life in the long run.

Every time I start a year, I start with the objective of trying to achieve everything, without comparing it to how I’ve done in other seasons.
