If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

When much virtue is achieved, nothing is not overcome.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

Thought is the original source of all wealth, all success, all material gain, all great discoveries and inventions, and of all achievement.

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.

The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.

Good is something you do, not something you talk about. Some medals are pinned to your soul, not to your jacket.

Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

A positive self image and healthy self esteem is based on approval, acceptance and recognition from others; but also upon actual accomplishments, achievements and success upon the realistic self confidence which ensues.

The greatness of a leader is measured by the achievements of the led. This is the ultimate test of his effectiveness.

The secret of success is to make your mind work for you – not against you. This means constantly being positive, constantly setting up challenges you can meet – either today, next week, or next month etc.

With greater confidence in yourself and your abilities, you will set bigger goals, make bigger plans and commit yourself to achieving objectives that today you only dream about.

The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.

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

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.

Normal people can be happy with a regular life, but there is more to life than just plodding through an average existence.

The gem cannot be polished without friction nor man without trials.

In time of difficulties, we must not lose sight of our achievements.

The best is the enemy of the good.

Happiness is not something you have in your hands; it’s something you carry in your heart. Happiness is one thing that multiplies by division. Happiness is that peculiar sensation you acquire when you are too busy to be miserable. Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.

Human dignity can be achieved only in the field of ethics, and ethical achievement is measured by the degree in which our actions are governed by compassion and love, not by greed and aggressiveness.

Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive… To invent your own life’s meaning is not easy, but it’s still allowed, and I think you’ll be happier for the trouble.

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism – by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.

Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence of that which is man: for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the Morality of Life and that yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth

There is a special sadness in achievement, in the knowledge that a long-desired goal has been attained at last, and that life must now be shaped toward new ends.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to remember that a planned economy is not yet socialism. A planned economy as such may be accompanied by the complete enslavement of the individual. The achievement of socialism requires the solution of some extremely difficult socio-political problems: how is it possible, in view of the far-reaching centralisation of political and economic power, to prevent bureaucracy from becoming all-powerful and overweening? How can the rights of the individual be protected and therewith a democratic counterweight to the power of bureaucracy be assured?

You must master your time rather than becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on your time. And you must organize your life to achieve balance, harmony, and inner peace.

We achieve everything by our efforts alone. Our fate is not decided by an almighty God. We decide our own fate by our actions. You have to gain mystery over yourself. It is not a matter of sitting back and accepting.

I don’t have a clue about the way to achievement, however the way to disappointment is attempting to please everyone.
