Einstein’s gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the geometry of space; this was an exciting idea.

I definitely wasn’t anything special when I first started but I think I adapted quite quickly into racing and it became a bit better slowly. All of cadets, the first four years of karting, I only won one proper race, one! Which was the British Open Championship at PFI and I started 21st and I won.

Big results require big ambitions.

If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.

Having these colossal accolades and titles, they get in the way.

You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you’ll be amazed at the results.

People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.

How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.

Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap – it is all in the mind.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

It’s a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.

No great thing is created suddenly.

Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.

I like to think of Everest as a great mountaineering challenge, and when you’ve got people just streaming up the mountain – well, many of them are just climbing it to get their name in the paper, really.

I wanted to get a job being creative, and I did.

I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I’m inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.

It is theoretically possible to warp spacetime itself, so you’re not actually moving faster than the speed of light, but it’s actually space that’s moving.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.

Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle. It’s a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment.

That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.

I am proud of having done what I’ve done. Very proud.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

My father will anticipate everything. He will leave you and me no chance to do a great and brilliant deed.

M-theory is the unified theory Einstein was hoping to find.

In the United States, I am a great success, but I am not a celebrity.

Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success, and then just get a little more.

Imaginary time is a new dimension, at right angles to ordinary, real time.

I am results-oriented.

It’s not essential for me to have a big debut week; it’s not essential for me to have big radio records.

As soon as I accomplish one goal, I replace it with another one. I try not to get too far ahead of myself. I just say to myself, ‚All right, well, I’d like to headline a tour,‘ and then when I get there, we’ll see what my next goal is.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

I really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever.

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn’t be done.

Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.

Successful people make money. It’s not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do.

I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

I feel that I’ve done what I wanted to do, and that makes me feel fairly content.

Being acknowledged for your work is always a great accomplishment, whether it’s people in my city, kids in the street, all the way up to the Grammys.

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.

With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains. I know. I’ve done it.

It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.

To make America the greatest is my goal, so I beat the Russian and I beat the Pole. And for the U.S.A. won the medal of gold. The Greeks said, ‚You’re better than the Cassius of old.‘

I went to a lovely school, and I got an incredible education. And I actually think that my education is what really sets me apart, ‚cause I’m very smart.

When I won the first Grammy, there was no other feeling like that feeling. It just made me feel like I came so far, like that was just a dream a few years before that, and then it was happening right then.

If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven’t done anything today.

The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.

I write in order to attain that feeling of tension relieved and function achieved which a cow enjoys on giving milk.

To get a name can happen but to few; it is one of the few things that cannot be brought. It is the free gift of mankind, which must be deserved before it will be granted, and is at last unwillingly bestowed.

Obviously this song is an achievement for me in my career, but what makes me really feel good is to make Latinos feel proud. To provoke that pride that a pop figure and someone so big in music globally like Drake would sing with me completely in Spanish and create this hit ‚MIA.‘ That’s the best part of it.

Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.

Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.

Those who attain any excellence, commonly spend life in one pursuit; for excellence is not often gained upon easier terms.

In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.

My powers are ordinary. Only my application brings me success.
