Summary

This quote suggests that aiming for lofty, ambitious goals often leads to success beyond one's original intention. By setting our sights on heaven, symbolizing our greatest aspirations and higher purpose, we are more likely to attain earthly rewards as well.

This quote emphasizes the importance of setting high aims and maintaining a visionary outlook to maximize our chances of achieving both earthly and spiritual fulfillment.
