It must be borne in mind that 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 unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture.

It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no starts to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.

- Benjamin Elijah Mays

If you’re looking out the window and seeing the same winter mess I am, you’re probably thinking that now would be a great time for a nice typographic animation with a positive message.

Funny you should mention that.
