Achieving
Happiness... it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. Franklin D. Roosevelt quotes Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. Robert Francis Kenedy quotes Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation. Robert H. Schuller quotes Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson quotes It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope. Ursula K. LeGuin quotes If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it. William Arthur Ward quotes If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever. Woody Allen quotes What you get by achieving your goals is to as important as what you become by achieving your goals. Zig Ziglar quotes

To achieve lasting literature, fictional or factual, a writer needs perceptive vision, absorptive capacity, and creative strength. Lawrence Clark Powell quotes Achievement brings its own anticlimax. Agatha Christie quotes With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. . . to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. Abraham Lincoln quotes People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most insignificant success is achieved. Anne Sullivan quotes We can spend our whole lives underachieving. Philip Crosby quotes In the tenth grade, I was fascinated with the question 'what was immortality?' I read numerous philosophies, but the theory which has stayed with me was that of Plato, the Symposium. The idea that through Love and Beauty we achieve immortality. Putting all our soul into our work makes it not only alive with passion and emotion, but it also exists as one of the truest and most honest expressions of self. Making life a beautiful art, the art then retaining life. I still believe Beauty is one of those most important and difficult things to create and express. Jewel Kilcher quotes Use missteps as stepping stones to deeper understanding and greater achievement. Susan Taylor quotes It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt quotes The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become. Harold Taylor quotes The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy. Ben Stein quotes

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying. Woody Allen quotes Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance. Bruce Barton quotes All great achievements require time. David Joseph Schwartz quotes Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. David Joseph Schwartz quotes The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, learn about them, or even seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. Denis Waitley quotes High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true. Robert H. Schuller quotes Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle. It's a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment. Eric Butterworth quotes No matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare moments. We need people to bear witness against our inner judge, who keeps book on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need people to convince us that we are not as bad as we think we are. Eric Hoffer quotes You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand. Woodrow T. Wilson quotes Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. Vince Lombardi quotes First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end. Aristotle quotes Our achievements of today are but the sum total of our thoughts of yesterday. You are today where the thoughts of yesterday have brought you and you will be tomorrow where

the thoughts of today take you. Blaise Pascal quotes They who know how to employ opportunities will often find that they can create them; and what we can achieve depends less on the amount of time we possess than on the use we make of our time. John Stuart Mill quotes I report to you that our country is challenged at home and abroad: that it is our will that is being tried and not our strength; our sense of purpose and not our ability to achieve a better America. Lyndon B. Johnson quotes If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse gift will find a fitting place. Margaret Mead quotes Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances. Orison Sweet Marden quotes As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope. Ursula K. LeGuin quotes Success is not a harbor but a voyage with its own perils to the spirit. The game of life is to come up a winner, to be a success, or to achieve what we set out to do. Richard M. Nixon quotes The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense. Thomas Alva Edison quotes Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip. Aristophanes quotes
