Achievement Quotes

“Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”

“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. But with self-confidence you can succeed. A sense of inferiority and inadequacy interferes with the attainment of your hopes, but self-confidence leads to self-realization and successful achievement.”

“These ceremonies and the National Statuary Hall will teach the youth of the land in succeeding generations as they come and go that the chief end of human effort in a sublunary view should be usefulness to mankind, and that all true fame which should be perpetuated by public pictures, statues, and monuments, is to be acquired only by noble deeds and high achievements and the establishment of a character founded upon the principles of truth, uprightness, and inflexible integrity.”

“Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.”

“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”

“The gospel shows us that our spiritual problem lies not only in failing to obey God, but also in relying on our obedience to make us fully acceptable to God, ourselves and others. Every kind of character flaw comes from this natural impulse to be our own saviour through our own performance and achievement. On the one hand, proud and disdainful personalities come from basing your identity on your performance and thinking you are succeeding. But on the other hand, discouraged and self loathing personalities also come from basing your identity on your performance and thinking you are failing.”

“Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.”

“William James once made an acute point about the relationship between happiness and expectation. He argued that satisfaction with ourselves does not require us to succeed in every endeavour. We are not always humiliated by failing; we are humiliated only if we first invest our pride and sense of worth in a given achievement and then do not reach it.”

“In DC, policymakers think that if we can only have high enough standards, tough enough tests, and hold people accountable, we can close the achievement gap. And it hasn't happened. Yet the new law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, is based on the same test-based and market-driven framework and ideology, except it lets the states do it.”

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”

“Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.”

“A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.”

“Success ... seems to be connected with action. Successful men keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.”

“One thing has not changed: to doubt the worth of minority students' achievement when they succeed is really only to present another face of the prejudice that would deny them a chance to even try. It is the same prejudice that insists all those destined for success must be cast from the same mold as those who have succeeded before them, a view that experience has already proven a fallacy.”

“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.”

“Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't.”

“It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.”

“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”

“If I hadn't had the talent, the networks wouldn't have televised my fights. No one has made me; I made myself. I paid my dues”

“To believe in yourself and to follow your dreams, to have goals in life and a drive to succeed, and to surround yourself with the things and the people that make you happy. This is success!”
