Better have failed in the high aim, as I,
Than vulgarly in the low aim succeed,--
As, God be thanked! I do not.
-- Robert Browning (1812-1890)
-- The Inn Album, iv

I will not aim for the head.
I still miss my ex-wife, but my aim is getting better.
I still miss Windows, but my aim is getting better.
Your aim is high and to the right.
Better aim at a star than shoot down a well; you'll hit higher.

Better Have Failed In The High Aim, As I, Than Vulgarly In The Low Aim Succeed,-- As, God Be Thanked!
