About the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment. – Josh BillingsRate it:
Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background. – Sachin TendulkarRate it:
By putting your mind into action, you can simply achieve anything that you keep craving for. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is. – Johann von GoetheRate it:
Genuine success is not in all you’ve been able to achieve or acquire. It’s the sum total of all the positive things you’ve accomplished in a lifetime. – Ellis MbekuRate it:
Getting ahead in a difficult profession -- singing, acting, writing, whatever -- requires avid faith in yourself. You must be able to sustain yourself against staggering blows and unfair reversals. When I think back to those first couple of years in Rome, those endless rejections, without a glimmer of encouragement from anyone, all those failed screen tests, and yet I never let my desire slide away from me, my belief in myself and what I felt I could achieve. – Sophia LorenRate it:
Humans live best when each has a place to stand, when each knows where he belongs in the scheme of things and what he may achieve. Destroy the place and you destroy the person. – Frank Herbert, DuneRate it:
I can only wish Mr. Killen peace at this juncture in his life. ... If he can achieve a modicum of peace, I wish that for him. – James ChaneyRate it:
I feel that we will continue to have a non-violent movement, and we will continue to find the vast majority of Negroes committed to non-violence, at least as the best tactical approach and from a pragmatic point of view as the best strategy in dealing with the problem of racial injustice. Realism impels me to admit, however, that when there is justice and the pursuit of justice, violence appears, and where there is injustice and frustration, the potentialities for violence are greater, and I would like to strongly stress the point that the more we can achieve victories through non-violence, the more it will be possible to keep the non-violent discipline at the center of the movement. But the more we find individuals facing conditions of frustration, conditions of disappointment and seething despair as a result of the slow pace of things and the failure to change conditions, the more it will be possible for the apostles of violence to interfere. – Martin Luther King, Jr.Rate it:
I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you. – Luigi PirandelloRate it:
If you make a habit of sincere prayer, your life will be very noticeably and profoundly altered. Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquility of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. . . . Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality . . . . Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths. – Alexis CarrelRate it:
If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve. – Lao TzuRate it:
In a socialist society, people are always motivated to achieve unity and the truest form of freedom—Organising themselves and coming to help those who are in need. You will find organisations such as social welfare, that take great care and give support to the poor, unemployed, old people, widows, etc. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
It is possible for the human being to achieve a state of equilibrium and not to desire anything in life. The state of not liking or hating anything that is presented to your senses. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
It is the contention of this observer that few homicides due to shooting could be avoided merely if a firearm were not immediately present, and that the offender would select some other weapon to achieve the same destructive goal. – Marvin E. WolfgangRate it:
Life is a game one has got to play. It can be a very versatile performance, though. We have to find out, how we would like to take part in the game and what role we wish to play. By discovering what we want to achieve, we try to give significance to our life. In this way we understand how we see ourselves and can realize if we actually own our life or if it is ruled by other people. ("Life untitled" ) – Erik PevernagieRate it:
Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown. – Ross PerotRate it:
My spirit is warmed up with the visions of my destiny; while my heart is burning with the desires to achieve them all. Those thoughts have produced a thick smoke that's clouding my mind from focusing in the present moment. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
Never doubt your capacity to achieve and accomplish your goals. The world is your oyster, go find you pearls. – Sana DabbasRate it:
Often we can achieve an even better result when we stumble yet are willing to start over, when we don't give up after a mistake, when something doesn't come easily but we throw ourselves into trying, when we're not afraid to appear less than perfectly polished. – Sharon SalzbergRate it:
Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year -- and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade! – Tony RobbinsRate it:
One of the pleasures of being an actor is that it takes you places you wouldn't ordinarily go, and you don't enter as a tourist, you really enter the life of the place. You achieve because you're lucky to work with people who are very talented. – Ben GazzaraRate it:
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. – Robert Francis KennedyRate it:
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. – George Herbert AllenRate it:
