Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten.
192
Records are always something that will be achieved, but they’re not our aim. Our aim is to win games and nothing more.
193
When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.
194
Marriage equality is not an issue of politics: it is an issue of justice achieved by political means.
195
A poet or prose narrator usually looks back on what he has achieved against a backdrop of the years that have passed, generally finding that some of these achievements are acceptable, while others are less so.
196
It’s very difficult to be funny musically. I think I achieved It with ‘The Pink Panther.’
197
I achieved big-time stardom with ‘Farz.’
198
All what I aimed for, except the Olympic medal, I achieved. That’s why I want to start the Usha School of Athletics. I missed an Olympic medal, now I want to ensure that one of my students wins one!
199
I spent six wonderful years at Stade Rennais… I’m proud of what I’ve achieved at the club.
200
In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors. If the authors had not achieved self-affirmation while writing, how could they have continued to write?
201
When I retire, my CV might have a few holes, things I haven’t achieved that I would have felt I needed to do, but I won’t know if I did need to do them until I retire.
202
If we look at where relations between the Soviet Union and Germany were in 1945 and where we stand now, then we have achieved so much.
203
Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.
204
Recently, a friend sent me the online musings of a televangelist who advised his thousands of followers that the Federal Reserve achieved satanic ends by manipulating the world’s money supply. Paranoia has replaced piety.
205
Maturity is achieved when a person postpones immediate pleasures for long-term values.
206
I don’t feel like I’ve achieved what I wanted to achieve yet, even though every day I get an email from another girl who tells me the difference that Girls Who Code has made in her life. I’m not done yet.
207
I wish if I could have achieved more success in my life earlier when my mom could see that happen, she could have seen those movies, could see the success rate that happened after I lost her.
208
I am very happy that the doors have opened for sportspersons. But I think the first Bharat Ratna should have been given to Dhyan Chand because of what he has achieved.
209
My friends in college, several of whom are still my closest companions, would tell you that I was almost obsessed with becoming – fixated on creating – the future that I envisioned for myself: one of expanding to know my fullest self, which I have in no way achieved.
210
I found my luck in Leipzig. We achieved the goal of playing internationally much faster than we had intended. There are certainly worse destinies than being coach of such a team.
211
It’s a team game. Sometimes individuals play and sometimes not. I’m happy with what I have achieved and I hope I can accomplish even more.
212
A lot of people felt it was difficult for me to come to Barca because I was playing in China. Nevertheless, I have achieved my dream and I am enjoying each day.
213
Unfortunately, some in Washington remain tied to the dogma that responsible energy development cannot be achieved without taking a wrecking ball to the environment.
214
Would I swap what I have achieved as a cook if I could have been as successful as a footballer? Definitely.
215
Cooperation is more important than reunification. If reunification is achieved without cooperation, it will be meaningless.
216
You’ve got to admire Sir Richard Branson. He is a completely different style of businessman to me, but you have got to admire what he has achieved.
217
In a relatively short space of time, Hawk-Eye has achieved a major impact in the way cricket is presented and appreciated by fans around the world.
218
I have achieved what I wanted to achieve. I’m better off at some sort of independent place where they not only like what I produce but also trust me to be the one to produce it.
219
Fiction is sort of a way to set the record straight, and let people at least believe that justice can be achieved and the right outcomes can occur.
220
Biopharmaceutical research and development efforts have achieved dramatic improvements in global health and longevity, and we are committed to continuing our quest.
221
Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.
222
Women in most countries have not achieved much, because they can’t be liberated under the patriarchal, capitalist, imperialist and military system that determines the way we live now, and which is governed by power, not justice, by false democracy, not real freedom.
223
It’s tough, as Chelsea’s a very special place for me, and I’ve always had a great relationship with the fans, but it became very obvious that I was not in the manager’s plans. I have achieved great things there, but I just needed to play football, and that’s why I got the move to Fenerbahce.
224
In a globally interdependent world, a better financial and investment system cannot be achieved on a country-by-country basis. There may be no one-size-fits-all model for economic development, but without global standards and complementary regulations, the long-term outlook for the world economy will remain bleak.
225
I love the Royal Family and every aspect of Britain and what we have achieved in history.
226
This game wears on you. It tears you down. It’s perpetual motion for some people who’ve achieved a level of independence, like Madonna and Jay-Z – they don’t need to do music anymore. But there’s people who need it. And in that need, that’s when it’s tough and it tears you to pieces.
227
Many badly needed goals, like fusion and cancer cure, would be achieved much sooner if we invested more.
228
Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your goal.
229
I feel grateful to be this size; after all, if I weren’t small and had not achieved these world records, I might never have been able to visit Japan and Europe and many other wonderful countries.
230
It is like a disease to think that an invincible status has been achieved after being satisfied with the past successful operations.
231
Everybody starts at the top, and then has the problem of staying there. Lasting accomplishment, however, is still achieved through a long, slow climb and self-discipline.
232
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.
233
Over time, I’ve come to recognize what others bring to the table, and I’ve developed a much more team-based approach. There’s the saying that there is no end to what one can achieve if one doesn’t have to take the credit for what was achieved.
234
In my opinion, if we have not achieved peace, it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations, we must settle our peace with God.
235
I still enjoy my life, and I feel like I’ve achieved enough things that if I never did anything again, I’d feel confident that I’d still have made my mark in some way. But maybe the self-loathing bit is the element that makes you strive for more. Makes you strive to be better.
236
And how is clarity to be achieved? Mainly by taking trouble and by writing to serve people rather than to impress them.
237
Honestly, I am a fan of the game like anyone else, so my favorite players’ list is pretty big. But if we are to narrow it down to England, I have a lot of respect for Wayne Rooney and the things he has achieved for club and country.
238
F.D.R. achieved greatness not by means of imposing his temperament and intellect on the world but by reacting to what the world threw at him.
239
I am thankful to my fans and producers that I am on my toes all the time to do better. The day you feel you have achieved it all or you are something, then you are gone, and that thought never came to me.
240
I think it would be bad for storytellers in general if one company was able to seize a 40-50-60% share in storytelling. I don’t think monopoly market shares are good for society, and I think they’d be particularly bad for society and storytellers if they were achieved in the storytelling genre.
241
To win the Champions League and possibly the Euros in the same season would be incredible, a feat achieved by very few.
242
I still can’t believe that I’ve achieved what I have. It’s like I’ve lived a dream for about five years now.
243
I was looked upon as this privileged actress who was like Yash Chopra’s family. He was my second family. Whatever I have achieved is because of him.
244
It is by now beyond question that Elton John is a competent and classy entertainer. Few people who have achieved his popularity have succeeded in maintaining his standards for performance and professionalism.
245
I’ve achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.
246
When the fabric of society is so rigid that it cannot change quickly enough, adjustments are achieved by social unrest and revolutions.
247
Compared to other clubs, what we’ve achieved under Gerard Houllier is exceptional.
248
I love Virat Kohli, he has achieved a lot.
249
PSG signed me for my CV, for what I’ve achieved in the Europa League, how I’ve grown as a manager, and how I’ve made players grow. I’m essentially here because I have a winning record.
250
The kind of crazy amount of fan following that I achieved from ‘Ek Hazaaron Mein’ was amazing. We used to get i-Pads as gift, Abercrombie and Fitch dresses from America. I had everything in the world.
251
I achieved something specially different with Love To Love You Baby and I Feel Love. These songs will endure.
252
There are some things I cannot do as I did before the accident. Trying to do them the same way was impossible, and I was getting frustrated. Then one day I said to myself that I had to relearn those things and do them in a different way and see what was possible, and how it could be achieved.
253
Goals? I’ve achieved the main ones of winning the World Championship and being world number one.
254
Whether that was in the Chepauk Stadium in Madras or at the Ilford Cricket School, there was a daily diet of cricket run by my dad. It was a hard school but he knew what he was doing. Everything I achieved was down to my dad.
255
I’m not going on a crusade but I’m proud of who I am. I feel I have achieved everything I could ever possibly have hoped to achieve out of rugby and I did it being gay. I want to send a positive message to other gay people that they can do it, too.
256
To me, Virat Kohli is the greatest batsman to have ever played one-day cricket. I have no doubts after seeing what he has achieved for India.
257
I’ve learned that many of the worst things lead to the best things, that no great thing is achieved without a couple of bad, bad things on the way to them, and that the bad things that happen to you bring, in some cases, the good things.
258
In 1997, the Labour government set out to strengthen funding for the arts – and achieved it.
259
Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I’ll show you somebody who has never achieved much.
260
I’ve known entrepreneurs who were not great salespeople, or didn’t know how to code, or were not particularly charismatic leaders. But I don’t know of any entrepreneurs who have achieved any level of success without persistence and determination.
261
My predecessor, P. W. Botha, had an inner circle, and I did not like it. I preferred decisions to evolve out of cabinet discussions. That way, we achieved real co-ownership of our policies.
262
There is no one policy that can end gun violence. But a ban on the sale of assault weapons to the general public is a critical goal that must be achieved if we are ever going to have peaceful communities.
263
The park achieved a kind of reality. Like these virtual reality games the children are playing with. I told them we were doing this 40 years ago! Disneyland is virtual reality.
264
My message to the Turkish people is never to view any military intervention positively because through military intervention, democracy cannot be achieved.
265
When I’m introduced at invited lectures at other universities, the students place a Bobo doll by the lectern. From time to time, I have been asked to autograph one. The Bobo doll has achieved stardom in psychological circles.
266
Traditionally, Seattle has been a great sports town and great football town. What the Huskies have achieved over the years has been pretty amazing. That’s how I got my first taste of football – when I went with my father to Husky Stadium.
267
It is an honour that people are comparing me to Iniesta because of everything that he has achieved. But, and I have said this before, I do not like these kinds of comparisons. Andres is Andres, and I am Isco. I am a different person and player.
268
What we achieved was a nuclear pause, not a nuclear halt.
269
I will always be motivated to improve until I feel I’ve achieved my potential.
270
I worked in the family business, which was my father’s shoe making company that he had inherited from his father, and that led me to become interested in what could be achieved by a great Italian brand. That became my ambition as a young man.
271
I don’t think any other hip-hop artist has achieved what I’ve achieved or the numbers I’ve sold without commercial radio. MTV and BET have never supported me.
272
I had achieved a lot on TV and I wanted to do a film. And during that time I was told many that ‘you are a TV star, when people can watch you for free on TV who will buy a ticket to watch you on screen?’ I faced it a lot.
273
Social mobility has always been a slippery term, with nebulous markers of success: how many state school children have to achieve postgraduate degrees, or fill higher professional jobs, before society is deemed to have achieved the requisite degree of mobility to consider prejudice or injustice a thing of the past?
274
I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.
275
Better talk than fight, if nothing of sovereign value is anyway lost. Dialogue has achieved more than confrontation in many parts of the world.
276
In South Africa, we could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.
277
Ryan Giggs is an idol – I don’t think there’s any other words for him. What he achieved at Manchester United, and what he achieved in football, is unparalleled.
278
At the end of the day, however big or whatever I have achieved, if I am not able to enjoy what I really enjoy, then there is no point having this life.
279
There is a certain amount of momentum that is achieved when one country after another reopens their borders.
280
Cultivating relationships with people who’ve achieved what you want to achieve makes the path fuller and more fun.
281
Both with Bayern and with the national team, I have a lot of teammates who have achieved a lot more than me – most of them are world champions, European champions or Champions League winners.
282
There are many people who are behind whatever I’ve achieved so far. My dad, Daboo Malik, is my mentor and guiding light who supported and influenced me. Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to be what I am today. Besides him, Salman Khan is yet another important person who is my biggest and constant inspiration.
283
Some years ago, I read Thomas Carlyle’s history of the French Revolution, and I was very taken by the way he told the story, and it seemed as though I was right in the middle of things. And it took me a while to figure out how he achieved that effect, and one of the ways was to write it in the present tense.
284
Honestly achieved results surpass all others.
285
During the past 23 years, I have set a number of goals for myself and I’m proud to say that these goals have been achieved.
286
Indeed I regard the enduring support which I have received over the years from all sections of the community in Ballymena as being more than sufficient recognition for any success which I may have achieved as an actor.
287
Every child in every country in every small town should know who I am. There are a handful of people who have achieved that, and two of them are my idols Michael Jackson and Bruce Lee. I’d like to get to that level someday and touch as many lives as I can.
288
Glory – once achieved, what is it worth?
289
I was obsessed with being popular in high school and never achieved it. There’s photos from our high school musicals, and I’m comically in the deep background, wearing a beggar’s costume.
290
I never thought of becoming an actress, but I always dreamt of winning a beauty pageant, and I achieved that.
291
When I got out of school, I lived the myth of Horatio Alger, and my company was on the cover of ‘Fortune’ magazine because it processed over ten percent of NASDAQ’s daily trading volume. I had achieved what I thought was the pinnacle of success in this proud, techno-capitalist country.
292
I am hard put to think of a single positive thing that commercial Hindi cinema has achieved.
293
People call me a genius. I don’t know much about geniuses. But I do believe that what I achieved was not just because of the ability that I was born with but also because I worked hard.
294
I hail from a small village and whatever I have achieved is simply because of fate.
295
Latin America has not achieved the development that it deserves… I’m not optimistic for all of Latin America, not only for Central America.
296
No matter how many goals you have achieved, you must set your sights on a higher one.
297
You hire a chief executive, pay him, and hold him accountable after a year or two. The time for so-called honorary jobs is over. What Pakistan squash needs is results, and that can only be achieved by professionals.
298
We have had significant success in the reduction of salt in food, but it has to be understood that this can only be achieved working with the industry on a voluntary basis… and it can only be done on an incremental basis.
299
Success, in whatever form it takes, is a tricky thing – once you’ve achieved your goal, then what? Where do you aim?
300
I have always felt that I was the biggest risk factor and the biggest bet for ‘Befikre’ because everyone else in the team had achieved something and have already proven their worth in their respective fields.
301
Properly practiced creativity must result in greater sales more economically achieved. Properly practiced creativity can lift your claims out of the swamp of sameness and make them accepted, believed, persuasive, urgent.
302
All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.
303
I achieved everything I wanted to achieve by being in the Rolling Stones and making records.
304
At Chelsea, even though I achieved a lot, they did not have great confidence in me.
305
When I joined the U.S. Army Reserve in 1992, there were no female four-star generals. I still remember the day in 2008 when a woman first achieved that rank.
306
I’m close to both my parents and very proud of what they’ve achieved.
307
Essentially we need a new social consensus for economic reform as New Labour has achieved in Britain.
308
People with big ideas worry. They lie awake at night and fret as they try to climb up the social or financial ladder. They probably feel proud of themselves for what they’ve achieved, but I’m proud of the fact that I’ve done very little – and hence have little to worry about – and I’ve still got somewhere.
309
I’ve been extremely happy and fortunate in terms of what I’ve achieved and the experiences I’ve been given.
310
PR only works for big names, because they’ve already achieved something. If you’re talking about an ordinary person, what would your PR machinery do where there’s no product in the machine?
311
France generates a significant part of its energy requirements from fission reactors and these have achieved a perfect safety record. We build ours all differently.
312
My decision to participate in ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ was purely for my daughter. I wanted her to be proud of me, and I know I have achieved it.
313
The fact that I’ve achieved this so soon is just a bonus, I guess. Everything from now on is a bonus for me.
314
Naturally, you always want to play, but it’s about being successful – no matter how this is achieved.
315
Having achieved my own dreams, I want to give to kids who are less fortunate, who struggle with everyday obstacles. I want to give them something positive in their lives: support.
316
I feel that if I retire today, I’ve done enough. I’ve achieved everything in comedy… I feel I don’t need anything else. It’s already built.
317
Broadly shared progress can be achieved with policies that are designed specifically to benefit consumers and workers. And such policies need not even include redistributive taxation, which many workers oppose. Rather, they can focus on ways to encourage competition and discourage rent-seeking.
318
I’ve achieved more than some people do in a lifetime, but it doesn’t mean I’ve done it all.
319
As far as my dreams go, all I want to do is be a working actor, and I happily achieved that.
320
I haven’t achieved as much as I should have done in my career.
321
If I look back down the years, how I was treated as a kid, if it wasn’t for the teachers at my school, then I wouldn’t have achieved what I have. You have to look where you came from, and we do need to get more parents involved, more running clubs and more schools. They can make a difference.
322
As far as natural calamities are concerned, Odisha had a very bad reputation before 2000 when we took over the government. After that, we have achieved international standards as far as controlling the effects of natural calamities. In fact, even the United Nations have complimented us on this.
323
Ever since I lost my limb and started walking with a prosthetic leg, I had been working only on my goal of conquering the 29,000 feet summit. Now that it has been achieved, my next goal is the Seven Summits.
324
Once I started writing at ‘The Onion’ I was like, oh this is it, this is my dream job, I’ve achieved my dream job.
325
We used to talk about wanting to get some money, but that’s when hip-hop was based on your dreams and your fantasy. The whole thing now is the dreams and fantasies were achieved, and you don’t want to make it the focal point. You can’t keep beating that dead horse.
326
Though I have achieved a little bit in my career, I have to continue working hard.
327
I set a goal for myself in being an actor and moving out to L.A., and I really felt I had achieved it when I landed ‘Shameless.’
328
Though I probably shouldn’t admit this, the activities and pursuits in which I’ve achieved any measure of success are, without exception, activities and pursuits that came easily to me from the beginning.
329
What sort of person you grow into should not be achieved by default, and often that’s exactly what happens to kids. I see literature as a method of guidance, information, and contemplation, and consider it the greatest compliment possible when a reader tells me that a book of mine really made him/her think.
330
As an athlete you want to be able to choose something that you haven’t already achieved. Is it different distances, or do you come back and defend your titles? It depends what your coach says.
331
I had achieved the most important things in my life when I married Joan and had the sons. Given the choice between Joan and the boys, and being a writer, I world give up being a writer without a blink.
332
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
333
The ‘spirit of Davos’ has definitely achieved a thing or two.
334
I believe that if creative people are open and generous enough when working with each other, a lot more can be learned and achieved by both parties. That’s what it’s all about, trying to produce the best work possible on any given project.
335
I’m 100% proud of the TV work I achieved. The work I did on shows on insects and Great White sharks… stuff that’s in school curriculums in England. Now they are showing up on Discovery Channel.
336
I’m not the same player I was in League One. I am proud of what I achieved because it was all through hard work, good managers and team-mates pushing me.
337
As an actor, to have achieved financial stability is amazing. But I always have this weird fear that I’m not going to get any more work; it’s about not having enough money.
338
In a way, a certain amount of self-criticism is a good thing, because it keeps you humble. Realizing that no matter what success you’ve achieved, you can still make enemies makes you humble, too.
339
I think it is important to build for people, and to deliver this message of hope: through good construction and a certain sense of progression, a better understanding of each other can be achieved.
340
A career is a journey. I’ve been fortunate enough to work and be very successful over three decades, but I haven’t achieved nearly what I want to achieve yet.
341
I have achieved everything that I ever wanted to accomplish in this game and more so, for me, I have been fulfilled.
342
‘BMB’ has opened up a world of possibilities. It has inspired me to believe that the really difficult things in life can be achieved by sheer application.
343
The most dangerous thing Iraq could have ever had was a nuclear weapon. The nuclear weapon Iraq was trying to build was not deliverable by bomb or ballistic missile. It was a large, bulky device that they hoped to bury and set off to let the world know they had a nuclear weapon. They never achieved that.
344
We define organic order as the kind of order that is achieved when there is a perfect balance between the needs of the parts, and the needs of the whole.
345
But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.
346
I don’t think value to the customer is achieved at the expense of employees’ welfare.
347
I think we achieved what we wanted to achieve. It was a short time period but we had broken America, we had been a worldwide success, and certainly George, as a songwriter, was outgrowing Wham!
348
I am committed to lending my voice and participating in action campaigns to support the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals that must be achieved by 2030.
349
I’m just trying to really take it one day at a time, because for me – and I know this sounds cliche, whatever – I achieved my ultimate goal, and nothing can really top that, you know?
350
We, the Social Democrats, are convinced that capitalism needs to be tamed a second time. The first time we achieved that in Germany for many decades with the social market economy. That is no longer enough. Now we need to do it in Europe and even globally.
351
Perfection is a trifle dull. It is not the least of life’s ironies that this, which we all aim at, is better not quite achieved.
352
I am overwhelmed for whatever I have achieved so far. I give the credit to my mother and everyone who has helped me.
353
‘The Iliad’ is about a war 1,200 years ago that solved nothing and achieved nothing. Most of our wars achieve very little. But whatever agenda I have gets buried in a work this great. If you’re being honest, you realize that, as an artist, you’re not a policy maker.
354
I had a lot of success, of course, but whatever was achieved was due to a group effort on the part of all the players.
355
So far in my career, I’ve achieved what I’ve achieved because I’ve believed that I could do it. And I’ve never believed that anyone’s better than me, because I think when you start doing that, you’ve already lost the fight.
356
As for the promotion of peace congresses we have had our meetings and assemblies, but the promotion through them of the determined and effective will to peace displaying itself in action and policy remains to be achieved.
357
The success I have achieved in bodybuilding, motion pictures, and business would not have been possible without the generosity of the American people and the freedom here to pursue your dreams.
358
I used to wear the German shirt with such pride and excitement, but now I don’t. I feel unwanted and think that what I have achieved since my international debut in 2009 has been forgotten.
359
I believe the returns on investment in the poor are just as exciting as successes achieved in the business arena, and they are even more meaningful!
360
I think Starbucks created a platform and, ultimately, a runway for many other companies to emulate. I suspect if we had not achieved what we have, there would have been many regional brands that would have succeeded. But I’m not sure there would have been a national brand of the scope of Starbucks.
361
I’m grateful for everything I have achieved in football, but now I’d rather do other things, go and watch games and enjoy discussing them afterwards.
362
My mother is responsible for whatever success I have achieved today.
363
Whatever I have achieved is all thanks to my team. I always say that I don’t repeat actors as often as I repeat my technicians.
364
This is the task, I think, of a letter movement. But it should be set up only in states where a significant response can be achieved, for a letter movement necessarily presupposes a strong organization.
365
If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.
366
As a footballer, everything you’ve achieved can easily be lost, and then you are nobody. That’s just how life is, and that’s why you shouldn’t let things get you down. That’s the reason I treat every match like a final.
367
What I love most about achieving whatever I’ve achieved is that the Seattle Seahawks follow me on Twitter!
368
My goal is to get people thinking and trying to wrap their heads around the amazing things that have been achieved and to dream about what will be achieved.
369
I think the gains to be achieved by a combination of reforms and labor market adjustments are going to be more permanent and will provide a basis for reducing unemployment and improving export performance, and sustaining growth, in a way that is more sound and permanent.
370
The cooperation of government at its different levels is important and can only be achieved as long as the people of Chicago are directly involved in our efforts and supportive of our goals.
371
I’m here because I stand on many, many shoulders, and that’s true of every black person I know who has achieved.
372
I can picture it now, where I grew and me playing in the cage where I used to play. To see what I’ve achieved and where I’ve been, the countries I’ve seen, tournaments I’ve played in, players I’ve played against, it’s incredible.
373
In my day, the only people who achieved real independence were my father, Mary Pickford and Charles Chaplin, who, with D. W. Griffith, formed United Artists. Other than that, everybody belonged to the big studios. They had no say in their own careers.
374
I have a long way to go as far as my acting career is concerned. Lots of milestones are to be achieved and dreams to be fulfilled. I would someday want to do playback singing, too, as I am a very passionate singer.
375
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.
376
What we have achieved is a good example of how the right policies deliver.
377
Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, Operation Warp Speed achieved the impossible by developing multiple vaccines in record time.
378
If I was to turn around now and say that motorsport should be segregated, then my whole career would have been for nothing. Every result that I have achieved on my own would stand for nothing, if I couldn’t compete against male drivers.
379
I am happy with everything I achieved in my football career. I don’t think I could have done any more.
380
In human rights and peacemaking, it’s really about having a solid concrete goal – the reduction of human suffering somewhere in the world – and then doing what is required to get that goal achieved.
381
Roman civilization had achieved, within the bounds of its technology, relatively as great a mastery of time and space as we have achieved today.
382
If we desire a society in which men are brothers, then we must act towards one another with brotherhood. If we can build such a society, then we would have achieved the ultimate goal of human freedom.
383
It’s a good feeling to come away from a day’s work feeling like you’ve achieved something. Tired brain is good.
384
Well I think in all the thirty years I’ve been doing this now and being gone from home and all that stuff it’s really, it’s not about what I’ve achieved and if I’ve become a better player, or played better ten years ago than I do today.
385
I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.
386
Most painters want recognition, especially by their peers. I achieved that a long time ago with TV. I don’t need any more.
387
I knew I was gay at 18, but to come out then would have meant I would not have achieved what I did in rugby. I loved rugby so much and it was so important to me that I made the decision to keep my sexuality secret. People may disagree with that, but it was my belief and my decision.
388
Our Founding Fathers would be proud of all that America has achieved, and will continue to achieve, in the coming years.
389
The Rock has come back; he’s been cool with me, and I have nothing against him at all. He’s achieved everything in WWE, and of course, he’s achieved everything in Hollywood. It’s a huge success story.
390
The war against British rule must continue until freedom is achieved.
391
Although a great restaurant experience must include great food, a bad restaurant experience can be achieved through bad service alone. Ideally, service is invisible. You notice it only when something goes wrong.
392
Gender equality cannot be achieved by cutting programs that allow girls to get the same chance to compete, learn, and play. The United States has had a solid history of commitment to its female athletes and expanding opportunity for women, and it is imperative that we continue on this path.
393
I might not be as successful as other actresses in the industry, but for me I have achieved success.
394
It’s nice to have genuine appreciation for what you’ve achieved in the game. You don’t often get it in Britain.
395
All that I have achieved has been possible not only because of my own strength and perseverance, gained through hardship, but also through other people’s support and belief in me.
396
It is my belief that many who think they dislike poetry are really poetical in their natures and are indebted to it, more than they imagine, for the success they may have achieved, even in practical pursuits, and for the enjoyment their lives have afforded them.
397
If you stop now and start to realise what you have achieved, then you start to relax, and you start to lose. I don’t think about everything I have achieved. I will do it when I retire because then I will have a lot of days to remember.
398
What one state could not get alone, what one miner against a powerful corporation could not achieve, can be achieved by the union.
399
I don’t mind being older. I’m proud of my age. I’ve achieved a lot. It’s the same thing with Mick and the Stones. They should be revered and respected. Isn’t it strange that now we’re living longer we have so much less respect for old age? Perhaps it’s a less valuable commodity?
400
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
401
My values stemmed from the family. Anything I have achieved in life has been rooted in my upbringing.
402
The great sadness of my life is that I never achieved the hour newscast, which would not have been twice as good as the half-hour newscast, but many times as good.
403
Winning the Indy 500 in 1995 and the Formula 1 championship in 1997 are very special moments for me, and the people in NASCAR show me respect for what I’ve achieved so far in my career.
404
He’s an incredible person. Messi is not simply a uniquely talented footballer. He’s also strong mentally, very bright, and exceptionally dedicated to his job. Personally speaking, I enjoy watching him play, and I’m deeply proud of him and what he has achieved. Quite simply, he’s the best.
405
I am professional, won a Champions League, silver at the World Cup, I achieved big things in football and don’t deserve to go anywhere on loan.
406
To be free is to have achieved your life.
407
Sir Alex Ferguson must be very high up on the list of greatest managers ever. Then there is Fabio Capello, and people forget how much Giovanni Trapattoni achieved at Inter and especially Juventus.
408
Looking back, I’m so proud to have gone to five Olympics – I believe only three other Americans have achieved that. My true gold medal, though, is my daughter, Karsen, who is 18 months old. And I have a wonderful husband, Mike.
409
Music is an art that goes well beyond science. Proof can be found in the huge amount of studies that have been carried out throughout the world based on music-therapy and the important results achieved.
410
If we are to give the people of China complete self-government we must first solve the problem of livelihood for all, and give real freedom to the races within China. If the foundations of democracy are secure, then true equality can be achieved.
411
If, by some miracle, women should not ever utter a single protest against their condition, there would still exist among men those who could not endure in peace until her liberation had been achieved.
412
I’m an actor. And I guess I’ve done so many movies I’ve achieved some high visibility. But a star? I guess I still think of myself as kind of a worker ant.
413
I think that what drives most of us as human beings is the want for something. You might have a hope, or a big dream, or a goal that you haven’t yet achieved.
414
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.
415
All sensible politicians favor growth, just as we all favor sound public finances. Both can be achieved if we rationalize spending, invest available resources wisely, and clamp down on tax evasion.
416
I think when you begin to think of yourself as having achieved something, then there’s nothing left for you to work towards. I want to believe that there is a mountain so high that I will spend my entire life striving to reach the top of it.
417
I have achieved an inner freedom.
418
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

420
A terrific exercise is to take a paragraph of someone’s writing who has a really strong style, and using their structure, substitute your own words for theirs, and see how they achieved their effects.
421
My life has been a quest for knowledge and understanding, and I am nowhere near having achieved that. And it doesn’t bother me in the least. I will die without having come up with the answers to many things in life.
422
I model myself on Christie Rampone and look up to her. Obviously, achieving what she’s achieved would be magnificent. I’d really like to meet her just once.
423
I can’t say that I’ve fully achieved my dream yet. I’m just starting to evolve.
424
Whatever I’ve achieved is because of my family and wife’s support.
425

Representing my country is an honor that nobody can ever take away from me and something that I am so proud to have achieved.
428
There used to be a cruel joke that said Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be; Obama is the Brazil of today’s politicians. He has obviously achieved nothing.
429
I knocked a lot of guys out from the seventh round on – so if I gave up, I would never have achieved what I did. There was no giving up. It’s weak to give up. The easiest thing in the world is to quit.
430
I had the one goal to become world champion for so long and now that I’ve achieved it, I thought that it was the top of the mountain. But now that I’m up there, it’s not.
431
A long-lasting and sustained recovery will never be achieved through massive government spending programs.
432
I’ve had so many experiences in cycling, but in some ways I have nothing left to prove. I have achieved more than I could have dreamed of, I’ve raced a lot longer than I thought I would. I know I can still be better, but I just don’t know if I love it enough any more.
433
Any man who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved has already defined his own limitations.
434
Young players are more hungry because they have not achieved what some of the older players have.
435
The ‘New York Honk,’ as it was called, was the most fashionable accent an American male could have at that time, namely, the spring of 1963. One achieved it by forcing all words out through the nostrils rather than the mouth. It was at once virile… and utterly affected. Nelson Rockefeller had a New York Honk.
436
Just as China achieved much more than India in the realm of public health and education under an austere Communist regime, so its economic growth under a capitalist-friendly government strikes a visitor from India as nothing less than spectacular.
437
I’ve played under some of the biggest and best managers and achieved almost everything in football. Of course it hurts when people question it, but I’ve come to the end of my career and can look back and say I’ve achieved everything with every club that I’ve played for.
438
I want to be part of that long list who have achieved great things with McLaren, won races and championships.
439
I graduated in biology by overcoming an incredibly impossible science workload in college. The knowledge does nothing for me, but knowing I achieved that makes me feel like I can achieve anything because those science classes in biology are just impossible.
440
I’m proud of who I am. I’m proud of my history. I’m proud of the women and the men who came before us who are black, and I’m proud of the women before me who are black and who have achieved so much, even though we have so much against us, and we don’t have those doors opening for us every day.
441
I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved.
442
All historical experience demonstrates the following: Our earth cannot be changed unless in the not too distant future an alteration in the consciousness of individuals is achieved.
443
It wasn’t success, because Teller and I, by the time Asparagus Valley got together – within a year, we had achieved all our goals. I mean, our goal was to earn our living doing exactly what we wanted. Which is many people’s goal.
444
If you become famous but haven’t actually achieved anything, then your life has no real meaning – unless you’re spectacularly shallow.
445
I’ve never tried to achieve anything. I achieved everything I wanted to achieve by being in the Rolling Stones and making records.
446
I have achieved a lot and I’m grateful for that – I’m just a bit greedy because I want to add the Olympics. It’s once every four years – everyone wants it and very few people get it.
447
A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.
448
One of the regrettable things in my life is that my dad was not around to see my stardom, to see me wrestle or to see what I achieved by the dream I had at an early age, influenced by where he would like to go.
449
The Italian Revolution was fought first of all to obtain the liberty and unity of the nation, and then, with that achieved, to join the freest and most advanced nations in inaugurating a new era of peace, justice, and joint cooperation in the work of civilization.
450
Under President Trump’s leadership, illegal immigration was the lowest it had been in 17 years. The Trump administration achieved this success because they understood the actual problems and addressed them.
451
Ever since we achieved a breakthrough in the area of recombinant DNA in 1973, left-wing nuts and environmental kooks have been screaming that we will create some kind of Frankenstein bug or Andromeda Strain that will destroy us all.
452
If you have a burning ambition and desire, absolutely anything can be achieved.
453
I think I’ve achieved everything I wanted to.
454

457
In my career I have achieved important titles.
458
I’m not angry with Axl anymore. I love him and I feel blessed that I got to work with him and achieve what I achieved with him. I guess time does heal all wounds.
459
My personal fave is ‘The Japanese Wife’, because I think I achieved a lot of what I wanted to do. I wanted that Japanese minimalism in the film, which I managed to get somewhat.
460
Both parents worshiped individual achievement, but because of the Depression and the war, they never achieved what they wanted and deserved. So their ambition and high expectations were transferred to me.
461
America is not perfect. It took a bloody civil war to free over 4 million African Americans who lived enslaved. It took another hundred years after that before they achieved full equality under the law.
462
I loved being a test pilot, and so being an astronaut was – was not my end point in, you know, either I achieved success by being an astronaut, or if I don’t get picked, I’m not successful. I loved my career as a pilot, and it was a bonus to be selected as an astronaut.
463
The main task for the Middle East is geopolitical stability. The rest of the world has to help to get this region straight, and once that’s been achieved, the region has a great future.
464
I believe anything can be achieved by hard work.
465
One of the great privileges of being a part of the Senate, it being the greatest deliberative body in the world, is out of the discussions of ideas, hopefully truth can ultimately be achieved.
466
In my head, that climb up the career ladder just doesn’t exist. I feel I’ve achieved everything I set out to achieve, as far as work goes.
467
Money has never been my drive. I have never seen the shortage of money in my life, so for me, I don’t want to buy a silk pillow or a private jet… My drive is to achieve more than what my grandfather achieved; my drive is to make a name for myself, get rid of this ‘star son’ tag that has been attached to me.
468
There is always room for improvement in experience and it can be achieved if one listens to the customers carefully.
469

470
Alienation as our present destiny is achieved only by outrageous violence perpetrated by human beings on human beings.
471
It would take me 10 lifetimes to achieve even half of what Wilberforce achieved.
472
The draconian prohibitions of the Taliban years and the gains Afghan women have achieved since the Taliban government was overthrown in 2001 are now well known and often cited: Today, Afghans lucky enough to live in secure regions can go to school, women may work in offices, and the burqa is no longer mandatory.
473
The president who achieved a true democracy. The president who built a peaceful relationship between the North and the South. The president who achieved a more equal and fair economy. That’s how I want to be remembered.
474
No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.
475
WWE is something I’m looking at. Definitely have been throwing little feelers out there to get an opportunity. Because I have achieved everything that I have set out to do in every organization except the WWE. I didn’t get the world title. I got everything else but that.
476
I’ve never had it easy. There have been fortunate coincidences and instances, but nothing has fallen into my lap. Whatever I’ve achieved has always been through sheer hard work.
477
I achieved my ambition early in life.
478
In a few hundred years you have achieved in America what it took thousands of years to achieve in Europe.

480
There are a couple of ways to use the word democracy, and the way that I think is productive is to think about democracy as not a state that can actually be achieved, but as an ideal.
481
It was far more fun than work doing those shows for all those years, we all loved each other and loved going to work, we all understood how fortunate we were to be in that place, to have achieved that success worldwide.
482
Whenever a film allows you to think and feel and take it beyond the moment, I think it’s achieved something. And ‘Funny Games’ does that.
483
I’m in pursuit of what cannot be achieved: perfection.
484
Socialism is the ideal state, but it can never be achieved while man is so selfish.
485
I achieved what I want to achieve and I want to continue doing something else.
486

487
It was by one Union that we achieved our independence and liberties, and by it alone can they be maintained.
488
I think the importance of doing activist work is precisely because it allows you to give back and to consider yourself not as a single individual who may have achieved whatever but to be a part of an ongoing historical movement.
489
We must bring the rule of law to its full fruition in the United States, and when we do, we will have achieved the goals and rhetoric of our Founding Fathers.
490
In pure literature, the writers of the eighteenth century achieved, indeed, many triumphs; but their great, their peculiar, triumphs were in the domain of thought.
491
Football is a team sport. I’m proud of what I achieved in my career, but I also know that I wouldn’t have achieved any of it without the support of my team-mates. I played with great players, great managers, and in great teams.
492
Tomorrow lurks in us, the latency to be all that was not achieved before.
493
Now that I’ve achieved my goal to win the belt, I want to be the best of all times. I want to be remembered as the lightweight with most title defenses.
494
I told myself when I was broke and homeless that my biggest goal was just to have a house. That goal was achieved. I’m just really, really lucky.
495
You know, heroes are ordinary people that have achieved extraordinary things in life.

501
In both Israel and America, Jews have experienced unparalleled freedoms, achieved great economic success, and exercised appropriate degrees of political power.
502
People I respect complimenting me on my work in fashion is more exciting to me than anything I ever achieved as a Spice Girl. I am now competing in an arena where I can hold my head high. I feel quite confident in what I’m doing now, much more than the singing. I was never going to give Mariah Carey any competition.
503
Western history has been a history of deed done, actions performed and results achieved.
504
I know, to banish anger altogether from one’s breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God’s grace.
505
Even today, despite everything I’ve achieved, I still get criticized. I don’t know why, I’ve never done anybody any harm.
506
I’m happy with what I’ve achieved.
507
There are actors who spend 20 years working and still don’t achieve what I’ve achieved so quickly. So I think my only course of action is to work as hard as I can, not just for the sake of the film, but also to prove to these people that I do have talent.
508
I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.
509
From the very beginning, Europe has been not only a success story but also a story of success achieved by learning.
510
American secretaries of state have typically been more buttoned up than bon vivant, but John Quincy Adams’s diplomatic successes – bigger than anything presidential or legislative that he achieved – still surprise a student of his personality.
511
I don’t think that I’ve scored these many runs or I’ve achieved these things, because I believe it is something that doesn’t help me. Whenever I go out to bat, it’s a fresh start.
512
Look, if the Situationists achieved what they wanted, they would be very unhappy and they would have to be Situationists all over again. It’s a never-ending process.
513

514
The solution to women’s issues can only be achieved in a free and democratic society in which human energy is liberated, the energy of both women and men together. Our civilization is called human civilization and is not attributed only to men or women.
515
You want to look back on your career and see what you’ve achieved, not just have a fancy car and a big house.
516
Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible. We believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided.
517
The problem is that no ethical system has ever achieved consensus. Ethical systems are completely unlike mathematics or science. This is a source of concern.
518
I went to a masterclass with Jonathan Pryce who said that a successful actor is not a famous actor, it’s an actor who acts. And I have been incredibly fortunate to have worked constantly from the moment I left drama school, so I achieved what I set out to do. I am an actor.
519
Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying.
520
I have been doing Bhojpuri films since quite some time, have achieved stardom over there and have a huge fan following.
521
I’ve always been like this – insecure – because I’m striving for something that can’t be attained. I don’t just want to be OK at this: I want to be the best at it, and I’ve never achieved that in my mind.
522
From a mental point of view, as I’ve had to rebuild my life from zero, it has been crucial I’ve never given up, that I’ve set achievable targets, not things that couldn’t possibly be achieved.
523
During my career, there were times we were inseparable, and I can honestly say that if it were not for Brendan Ingle, I would not have achieved all I did in the sport of boxing.
524
There’s no way in hell I could have achieved what I have without being a good student and listening to the wisdom of others who have been doing this a lot longer than I have.
525
The life of the individual is a continuous combat with errors and obstacles, and no victory is more satisfying than the one achieved against opposition.
526
Milestones have never really meant a lot. They probably will mean more when I’ve finished playing and actually reflect on what I have achieved.
527
I finally achieved my dream by being a TV showrunner.
528
Sonic Youth, for better or worse, is/was a machine that carried me along through pregnancy, motherhood, and creative opportunities I never would have achieved on my own. I’m grateful and surprised that we were listened to, loved, ignored, and overrated.
529
To be sure, India has achieved enviable success in business services, like the glistening call centers in Bangalore and elsewhere. But in the global jousting for manufacturing jobs, India does not get its share.
530
I’ve been to three Olympics and I don’t feel I’ve ever quite achieved my best at any of them.
531
Once the festival achieved a certain level of notoriety, then people began to come here with agendas that were not the same as ours. We can’t do anything about that. We can’t control that.
532
Permanent success cannot be achieved except by incessant intellectual labour, always inspired by the ideal.
533
Always remember, the goals that we have achieved pale in comparison to the daily commitments it took to get there.
534
In my lifetime, I’ve discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously, I’ve seen many dreams shattered, egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune, but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.
535
I have been hugely proud in terms of what I have achieved, in terms of over 60 caps, and I have captained my country on a few occasions which has been a huge honour and something I have been really proud of in my career.
536
I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.
537
Insisting that we must tax and take and demonize those who have already achieved the American Dream. That may turn out to be a good re-election strategy for President Obama, but is a demoralizing message for America.
538
I achieved my one and only dream, which was to debut as a singer.
539
I had my freedom, and I had my comfortable life, but I couldn’t accept the fact that the politicians were making it increasingly difficult for my kids and millions of others to achieve their dreams as I had achieved mine. So, in 2012, I ran for president.
540
A national team is a reflection of its country’s football, and both Brazil and Argentina have earned respect for what they’ve achieved.
541
I believe success is achieved by acquiring and developing talented, respected, and credible individuals, none of which applies to Skip Bayless.
542
Le Corbusier is an outstanding writer. His ideas achieved their impact in large measure because he could write so convincingly. His style is utterly clear, brusque, funny and polemical in the best way.
543
What I love most about makeup is that you can’t get attached to one thing, one idea, or one approach – and once you’ve achieved perfection, you have to wipe it all off and start over the next day.
544
My wife says to me, ‘You have achieved a lot’… yeah, I do know. But… there are a couple of things I haven’t.
545
I’ve achieved a lot in Spain.
546

547
Those who have achieved success in football have a degree of responsibility to be open and honest about our ‘calling,’ our passion.
548
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a football player. So I achieved my dream.
549
Our societies have achieved a general level of prosperity of which most of all the human beings who have ever lived could only dream. Now we need to show that we can stop continually wanting more – more money, more stuff. We must show that it is possible for people to realise that they have enough.
550
All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I’ve achieved since then is above and beyond.
551
I never achieved my first goal in the National Actors Theatre, which is to have a permanent Acting Company.
552
We have reached an important milestone and achieved a new momentum in reaching a goal all Americans should embrace – building a secure, peaceful, democratic Iraq that is no longer a threat to the United States or the international community.
553
Football is very cinema friendly and the intense competition that the game involves only charges up the atmosphere. This cannot be achieved with cricket.
554
In my career, there’s many things I’ve won and many things I’ve achieved, but for me, my greatest achievement is my children and my family. It’s about being a good father, a good husband, just being connected to family as much as possible.
555
I appreciate what I’ve achieved, and nearly all of that is because of my dad. He pushed me to train harder than I would have done if he wasn’t there to discipline me.
556
Lasting peace and security in Iraq and Afghanistan will be achieved when we establish the conditions for democratic, economically viable nations.
557

558
Ezra Furman And The Boy-Friends was a band with a specific mission – to be a really good rock’n’roll band. And we achieved it.

567

569
To me, mass media is when you are able to use a platform to reach an audience on a large, global scale, and I think YouTube has certainly achieved that and is still finding ways to bring a wider range of content to its audience.

582
It’s almost like the better I do, the more my feeling of inadequacy actually increases, because I’m just going, ‘Any moment, someone’s going to find out I’m a total fraud, and that I don’t deserve any of what I’ve achieved. I can’t possibly live up to what everyone thinks I am and what everyone’s expectations of me are.’
583
Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it.

596

598

603
Evolution doesn’t care whether you believe in it or not, no more than gravity does. I want to rekindle excitement over what we’ve achieved as a species with the space program. We can’t afford to regress back to the days of superstition.
604

I still did some things in football, but I needed to get away from the game. I needed closure. And once I felt I’d achieved that, the hunger came back. That fire in your belly, the desire to feel the adrenaline at the weekend. That’s when I felt I was able to go again.

620
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.

625
Although the French appellation system has its roots in the 1923 system created in Chateauneuf-du-Pape by Baron Le Roy, proprietor of the renowned Chateau Fortia, Chateauneuf-du-Pape never developed a reputation for quality or achieved the prestige enjoyed by such regions as Burgundy and Bordeaux.

643

646

647
All the great artists had their dark sides. Look at Amy Winehouse or anyone who has achieved a certain level of success.

653
I grew up on the south side of Chicago in the 1960s, and I think there was a synchronicity of events that inspired me to be an astronaut, and, of course, the backdrop is nothing less than Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. That was a time in our nation where we aspired to great things, and we achieved them.

I always have separated myself from my critiques of collections. My judgment is not about whether I would wear it – but how the collection stands in the lexicon of an established designer.

660
Someone will eventually succeed in this hunt for a longevity pill, and when they do, one of the greatest advances in the history of medicine will have been achieved.
