Famous quotes containing the word achievements:

    “When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality, they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man’s name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “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)
