What is a labour victory? I maintain that it is a twofold thing. Workers must gain economic advantage, but they must also gain revolutionary spirit, in order to achieve a complete victory.

Neil ArmstrongThe TV scientist who mutters sadly, "The experiment is a failure; we have failed to achieve what we had hoped for," is suffering mainly from a bad script writer. An experiment is never a failure solely because it fails to achieve predicted results.

Steve ScottA lot of films that have been adapted from books stop serving you because they become different.

Andrea RiseboroughDogs have found themselves in an odd predicament by living with humans. In the wild, dogs don't need humans to achieve balance.

This takes exercise and discipline before affection, and always maintaining your calm, assertive pack leadership.

John W. GardnerYou frequently hear the phrase "culture eats strategy for lunch!" This is something that they don't teach you in school and few leaders appreciate.

If the "people" are on board, you can achieve anything. Vice versa if they are not - you will not achieve anything.

Wendy KoppThe last thing I'd say is that you can achieve a lot of things in politics. You can get a lot of things done.

After all, as I once said: I was the future once.

George W. BushWhen I was a kid, I was a combination of Elvis, Richard Pryor, and Harrison Ford from Indiana Jones. I didn't know the value of being able to make someone happy. What kid really understands that? It wasn't until I got into professional wrestling that I felt like, "Oh, it's not only incredibly gratifying to achieve something but also to make people happy".
Dwayne JohnsonOur task is to educate our children's whole being so they can face the future and make something of it. To achieve this we need to balance education for careers with education for twenty-first century life.

Philip KotlerFinally, I would like to assure my many Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Muslim friends that I am sincerely happy that the religion which Chance has given you has contributed to your peace of mind (and often, as Western medical science now reluctantly admits, to your physical well-being). Perhaps it is better to be un-sane and happy, than sane and un-happy. But it is the best of all to be sane and happy. Whether our descendants can achieve that goal will be the greatest challenge of the future. Indeed, it may well decide whether we have any future.

Willard GaylinFighting for one's freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist.

They seem to be able to carry on with their lives and still produce wonderful, high-profile work.
Anne-Marie DuffEvery second of the search is an encounter with God.
