But I must say the work I’m proudest of is the Green Cross Code man. David Prowse
Thus to be independent of public opinion is the first formal condition of achieving anything great or rational whether in life or in science. Great achievement is assured, however, of subsequent recognition and grateful acceptance by public opinion, which in due course will make it one of its own prejudices. W E F Hagel, Philosophy of Right, 1821
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Helen Keller
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement. Golda Meir
The starting point of all achievement is desire. Napoleon Hill
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. Franklin D Roosevelt

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement. Henry Ford
Without failure there is no achievement. John C Maxwell
The journey that I have undertaken, meeting people from all walks of life and learning from them, has been my biggest achievement. Aamir Khan
Do you know the hallmark of a second-rater? It's resentment of another man's achievement. Those touchy mediocrities who sit trembling lest someone's work prove greater than their own – they have no inkling of the loneliness that comes when you reach the top. Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at best know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt
I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying. Woody Allen
To accomplish great things we must not only act but dream, not only plan but also believe. Anatole France
Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly. John F Kennedy
My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me. Winston Churchill
The complete deciphering of the human genome is one of those achievements that makes me proud to be human. Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth p316
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
