If four things are followed - having a great aim, acquiring knowledge, hard work, and perseverance - then anything can be achieved.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.
Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.
The journey that I have undertaken, meeting people from all walks of life and learning from them, has been my biggest achievement.
Aamir Khan
The work requires a moderately large investment in technological and theoretical developments and long periods of time to carry them out, without the pressure to achieve quick or short term results.
Aaron Klug
I think people are always able to achieve more than they think they can. While that's cliche, I don't know if managers think about that enough. You have to set your sights extremely high.
Aaron Levie
I think St. Jude helped me achieve some miracles in my life - that's why I wear the medallion in my left ear and never take it out.
Aaron Neville
I think the best thing I can hope to achieve is to educate, or make aware, as many people as possible on how the little things they do every day really do affect our environment, and how easy it is to fix some of those things.
Aaron Peirsol
Hopefully I can be one of the best midfielders in the world. That's what drives me on: to try and achieve that and to try and go on and win many things.
Aaron Ramsey
I have always had great respect for former president Mandela. The personal sacrifices he made in order to achieve what was right for the people of South Africa is something I carry with me every day.
Aaron Schock
I've achieved more than some people do in a lifetime, but it doesn't mean I've done it all.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Sometimes you don't quite realise what you have achieved until you look back.
AB de Villiers
I don't like to celebrate my own achievements.
You can't achieve anything without getting in someone's way.
Abba Eban
All that you may achieve or discover you will regard as a fragment of a larger pattern of the truth which from the separate approaches every true scholar is striving to descry.
Abbott L. Lowell
Dancers are always striving for perfection. A great dancer never achieves it: you always want to do another turn, a higher jump,a more difficult acrobatic jump.
Abby Lee Miller
When I look in the mirror, I don't see a person who's made the kind of impact that Mia Hamm made on the game. She's still my idol, the greatest player and the greatest teammate. She achieved so much in so many different ways. What she did for women's soccer can't be measured.
Abby Wambach
For any athlete growing up, the Olympics is the one thing you watch with your family, and it's the one thing you dream about. Seeing your country's flag go up as you get a gold medal is the best thing you can achieve.
I think that in order to get better as an athlete and to see whatever kind of results you're after, you have to make goals. Whether you write them down or tell someone about them, it's important to set goals for yourself in order to achieve any kind of success.
One of the achievements of the reform movement is that people realize that they can be democrats and remain faithful Muslims. Democracy is now an established idea.
Without my services, Pakistan would never have been the first Muslim nuclear nation. We were able to achieve the capability under very tough circumstances, but we did it.
Today more than ever we need creative minds to address the issues of the age. And one of the most urgent is this: How can humanity know so much, achieve so much, and still fail so many people so badly?
Blowing up buses will not induce the Israelis to move forward, and neither will the killing of Palestinians or the demolition of their homes and their future. All this needs to stop. And we pledge that Jordan will do its utmost to help achieve it.
I don't understand why people set limits, like I will buy a house, then car, and so on. But I ask them, what after you've achieved all that? I have come to realize the value other things, like nature, or spending time with my family in Ludhiana or peace of mind.
The greater good is achieved by not only telling people what they need to know, but also filling them with a sense of empathy and love.
We need to believe that we can achieve progress in fixing our broken immigration system, prioritizing smart border security investments, cracking down on those who are trafficking and smuggling, and relieving the ongoing humanitarian crisis at our southern border.
That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.
We never had planned to hijack a ship. We never thought of any war plans outside the Palestinian lands. We wished that the program had not failed and then the warriors could have achieved their goals.
Achievement results from work realizing ambition.
It's very confusing when fame comes early on in your career. You get a little bit bent out of shape in terms of what's important. Fame is like the dessert that comes with your achievements - it's not an achievement in itself, but sometimes it can overpower the work.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the major achievement of President Obama's first term.
I'd been told countless times, even before I got into pro wrestling, that I would never amount to anything and that I'd never achieve this dream.
You have to accept that other people are not going to live their lives like you, and you have to find a way to achieve your goals while they are still existing and living their lives according to their choices.
If the amount of hours spent on FarmVille were spent on actual farming, imagine what we could achieve.
For women to achieve equal representation in leadership roles, it's important that they have the backing of men as well as women.
If we are going to achieve something, we are going to need a strong bench.
Throughout the course of the season everyone is going to have to contribute if you want to achieve something special.
To win Olympic gold has been a dream for me for seven or eight years now, so it was amazing to actually achieve that.
This medal goes to show that you don't always have to have the best facilities, the best organisation, the best of everything to achieve.
I love the Royal Family and every aspect of Britain and what we have achieved in history.
I've long struggled with my body image and have worked hard to achieve a healthy weight.
If giving points to some students to achieve greater diversity is a quota system in violation of the Constitution, how can the awarding of points to the children of a less diverse alumni be upheld?
But even race-neutral policies and recruitment efforts designed to achieve greater diversity are, in the end, not race neutral.
Football was my saving grace so I want to let people know that you can achieve whatever you want. People like to concentrate on what you can't do, so let's preach what you can. Why would I want to talk about not being quick when I'm strong? That's what I want to get across.
To be recognised as the best in the whole world at something is an achievement.
Some of the traits that make you a great entrepreneur also work against you. Examining data of high-scoring people, we find that oftentimes the world frustrates them: They're super-smart, they're super-capable, and the work quality of their peers is vastly inferior to what they can achieve on their own.
Like probably a lot of people, I came away from watching films like 'Miss Representation' and 'Half the Sky' with the realization that the battle for women's rights is not over, especially not globally, and that the moral imperative of our century is to achieve full rights for everyone regardless of gender.
The challenge, really, on any new film is to try to avoid that and achieve a few moments that aren't cliche.
