We've lived through a time in which people have felt they could forge their own future and make a better world. We may not have achieved our dreams in the time frame that we once believed was realistic, but the magnitude of what is yet to be achieved only confirms the importance of our commitment. Knowing this, we can't stop now.

If I look back, the one thing that I am proud of is that for once I as a political leader, kept every promise I made within one term of office. We achieved a new constitution; we achieved a new bill of rights, which encapsulated this vision of justice for all.

Frederik Willem de Klerk

I would never have achieved what I've achieved now if I hadn't sorted myself out from the inside. It's all about who I am, not the way I look.

That which is achieved the most, still has the whole of its future yet to be achieved.

Laozi

My pride and my power of vision were all that I owned when I started - and whatever I achieved, was achieved by means of them. Both are greater now. Now I have the knowledge of the superlative value I had missed: of my right to be proud of my vision. The rest is mine to reach.

I'm convinced that the greatness that matters more is the greatness people achieve through helping each other, through collaborating, more than the greatness that's achieved by grabbing all you can or getting all you can or building all you can.

When I took up cricket seriously, I wanted to play for India. When my dream was achieved, I thought what next? Then a fellow cricketer told me, 'Playing for India is easy; playing for 10-15 years is difficult.' Then I changed my dream to play 100 Test matches. I achieved that as well. Now there is nothing to achieve, so I am just enjoying things.

Virender Sehwag

We need the real, nation-wide terror which reinvigorates the country and through which the Great French Revolution achieved glory.

Vladimir Lenin

Greatness is never achieved through indecision.

John Ortberg

No one has ever achieved greatness without dreams.

Roy T. Bennett

Nothing in Art is achieved by will alone. It is achieved by docilely submitting to the subconscious.

Odilon Redon

Nothing can be achieved without knowledge and yet everything can be achieved just through a pure heart.

Haidakhan Babaji

Aldo's game. You don't get those accolades that he's achieved, the accomplishments that he's achieved without being one of the best.

Cody Garbrandt

If man were relieved of all superstition, and all prejudice, and had replaced these with a keen sensitivity to his real environment, and moreover had achieved a level of communication so simplified that one syllable could express his every thought, then he would have achieved the level of intelligence already achieved by his dog.
