Achievement Quotes
The starting point of all achievement is desire.
Napoleon Hill
Desire is creation, is the magical element in that process. If there were an instrument by which to measure desire, one could foretell achievement.
Willa Cather
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Liberalism, on the other hand, regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situations, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability.
Morris Raphael Cohen
Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.
Frédéric Chopin
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Ayn Rand
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
James Allen
I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential.
Shirley Chisholm
The final wisdom of life requires not the annulment of incongruity but the achievement of serenity within and above it.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Making a mistake is also an achievement.
Thomas Dewar, 1st Baron Dewar
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Humor and pathos, tears and laughter are, in the highest expression of human character and achievement, inseparable.
James Thurber

Frank Gehry
Poetry is the achievement of the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.
Carl Sandburg

Jimmy Carter
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.
W. Clement Stone
Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.
Napoleon Hill
Achievement is talent plus preparation.
Malcolm Gladwell
With all humility, I think, 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.' Infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbor as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on the wing, you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbor you must be living in your eye on that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Take the sum of human achievement in action, in science, in art, in literature -- subtract the work of the men above forty, and while we should miss great treasurers, even priceless treasures, we would practically be where we are today. . . . The effective, moving, vitalizing work of the world is done between the ages of twenty-five and forty.
William Osler
