There are different stages in a lifetime, each lived by a quite different person.  It is a shame that the person who finally achieves the lifelong dream cannot go back and present it to the wide-eyed child who first dreamed it.

 Anytime you hear the words, "The end justifies the means," you can be sure that something mean is about to be justified.

 To steal a moment from the sublime
And store it out of the reach of time
Is given perhaps to angels and saints
And lowly dabblers in pencils and paints.
