I want to know that I've accomplished something. I want to feel that it had some meaning. At the last summing up, I want to be sure it wasn't all-for nothing. Ayn Rand
Lenin only believes in the revolution and in the virtue of expediency.'One must be prepared for every sacrifice, to use, if necessary, every stratagem, ruse, illegal method, to be determined to conceal the truth, for the sole purpose of accomplishing, despite everything, the communist task'. Albert Camus
It is difficult to see how Gandhi's methods could be applied in a country where opponents of the regime disappear in the middle of the night and are never heard of again. Without a free press and the right of assembly, it is impossible not merely to appeal to outside opinion, but to bring a mass movement into being, or even to make your intentions known to your adversary. Is there a Gandhi in Russia at this moment? And if there is, what is he accomplishing? George Orwell
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them—a mother’s approval, a father’s nod—are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. Mitch Albom

But it is very foolish to ask questions about any young ladies? about any three sisters just grown up; for one knows, without being told, exactly what they are? all very accomplished and pleasing, and one very pretty. There is a beauty in every family. ? It is a regular thing Jane Austen
Good is never accomplished except at the cost of those who do it, truth never breaks through except through the sacrifice of those who spread it. John Henry Newman
God's fighting for us does not exclude the responsibility to be prepared for battle both in the area of strategy and in equipment. Trusting God completely in prayer, believing that He is able to do all things, does not remove the need to pray for His strength to accomplish what He has prepared us to do! We are to do what He is unfolding for us to do, fulfilling what God is giving us strength to do, acknowledging that it is His strength and not ours. It is a truly active passive, not a false... Edith Schaeffer
I have searched frantically for contentment for so many years in so many ways, and all the acquisitions and accomplishments- they run you down in the end. Elizabeth Gilbert
How many people cdan play a piano? . . . Practically anybody who has ever been a child. It is a standard parlor accomplishment. Dorothy West
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil."
Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil. Robert A. Heinlein
There's a very positive relationship between people's ability to accomplish any task and the time they're willing to spend on it. Joyce Brothers
The debacle in Iraq has reinforced the realist dictum, disparaged by idealists in the 1990s, that the legacies of geography, history and culture really do set limits on what can be accomplished in any given place. But the experience in the Balkans reinforced an idealist dictum that is equally true: One should always work near the limits of what is possible rather than cynically give up on any place. In this decade idealists went too far; in the previous one, it was realists who did not go far... Robert D. Kaplan
