George Carlin Quotes And Sayings (4)


If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

The universe is huge. It is the largest thing… ever. Imagine we are the only living creatures in the entire universe; that would be rather impressive considering how huge it is. It is the same for humans. Many people don’t think they are capable of achieving great things, so they set small goals and settle for less than they are capable of. You are full of potential, so dream big and set your standards high!
