Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.

The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best.

I had no accomplishments except surviving. But that isn't enough in the community where I came from, because everybody was doing it. So I wasn't prepared for America, where everybody is glowing with good teeth and good clothes and food.

Do not let your grand ambitions stand in the way of small but meaningful accomplishments.

I've never really spent a lot of time thinking about my individual accomplishments actually.

I can now successfully drive a stick. That's a huge accomplishment.

It is through accomplishment that man makes his contribution and contribution is life's greatest reward.

Accomplishments have no color.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along.

Telling lies is a fault in a boy, an art in a lover, an accomplishment in a bachelor, and second-nature in a married man.

The feeling of accomplishment welled up inside of me, three Olympic gold medals. I knew that was something nobody could ever take away from me, ever.

No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helps you.
