Be not merely good; be good for something.
Henry David Thoreau
To be always intending to lead a new life, but never to find time to set about it; this is as if a man should put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day and night to another, till he is starved and destroyed.
John Tillotson

Greatness is not where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it – but sail we must and not drift, nor be at anchor.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
