Famous quotes containing the word achievements:

    “Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)

    “There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “Like all writers, he measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure him by what he envisaged or planned.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
