Achieving Quotes (page 32)

Toni Morrison quote: "How exquisitely human was the wish for permanent happiness,..."

If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty. John F. Kennedy
To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself...Anybody can have ideas--the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. Mark Twain
Every man builds his world in his own image; he has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. If he abdicates his power, he abdicates the status of man, and the grinding chaos of the irrational is what he achieves as his sphere of existence—by his own choice. Ayn Rand
Luigi Pirandello quote: "I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship..."
I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve to you. Luigi Pirandello
...it seemed a part of her life, to step from the ancient to the modern, back and forth. She felt rather sorry for those who knew only one and not the other. It was better, she thought, to be able to select from the whole menu of human achievements than to be bound within one narrow range. Orson Scott Card
I came here to say that I do not recognize anyone's right to one minute of my life. Nor to any part of my energy. Nor to any achievement of mine. No matter who makes the claim, how large their number or how great their need. I wished to come here and say that I am a man who does not exist for others." - Howard Roark Ayn Rand
George Washington quote: "A man ought not to value himself of his achievements or rare..."
A man ought not to value himself of his achievements or rare qualities of wit, much less of his riches, virtue or kindred. George Washington
Paul Klee quote: "After all, it's rather difficult to achieve the exact minimum,..."
After all, it's rather difficult to achieve the exact minimum, and it involves risks. Paul Klee
Dale Carnegie quote: "You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you're..."
You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you're doing. Dale Carnegie
Good Demeter mothering keeps a child in the heat and passion of life which immortalize and establish soulfulness. Mothering involves not only physical survival and achievement—Demeter's grain and fruit—it is also concerned with guiding a child to his or her unknown depths and the mystery of fate. Thomas Moore
What is meaningful cannot in fact be isolate?. We achieve understanding within a circular movement from particular facts to the whole that includes them and back again from the whole thus reached to the particular significant facts. Karl Jaspers
Don't be silly, Dawlish. I'm sure you are an excellent Auror, I seem to remember you achieved 'Outstanding' in all your N.E.W.T.s, but if you attempt to? er? 'bring me in' by force, I will have to hurt you. J. K. Rowling
And as for Owen Warland, he looked placidly at what seemed the ruin of his life's labor, and which was yet no ruin. He had caught a far other butterfly than this. When the artist rose high enough to achieve the beautiful, the symbol by which he made it perceptible to mortal senses became of little value in his eyes while his spirit possessed itself in the enjoyment of the reality. Nathaniel Hawthorne
