Jackie DeShannon Quotes

We have not wings we cannot soar; but, we have feet to scale and climb, by slow degrees, by more and more, the cloudy summits of our time.

Anything that is within someone else's reach is also within yours. Set your goals no matter how impossible they may seem. Then focus on what is between you and that goal. And then, simply take out the obstacles as they come.

There are tough times and mountains to climb, but you've got to go for it.

She was a girl with a mountain to climb.

I'm about working, getting better, and proving people wrong.

I would say that when you have a big dream or you're trying to solve a big problem, there will always be people who tell you that you can't. Here's my advice: don't listen.

It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered.

Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so if you but perceive an Ideal and strive to reach it.

Having a dream is what keeps you alive. Overcoming the challenges makes life worth living.

If you stay intent and your ability warrants it, you will eventually reach the top of the mountain.

There is no creature so contemptible but by resolution may gain his point.

Put up your guards, keep faith in God, I promise you all the world will be ours.

I will persist until I succeed!

If you can't bear to have your face stepped on, don't try to climb the ladder of success.

Don't ever give up what you want in life. The struggle is worth it.

To ask for power is forcing uphill a stone which after all rolls back again from the summit and seeks in headlong haste the levels of the plain.

Hard work and determination equals success. Nothing comes easy. Put your mind to something.

For, after all, every one who wishes to gain true knowledge must climb the Hill Difficulty alone, and since there is no royal road to the summit, I must zigzag it in my own way. I slip back many times, I fall, I stand still, I run against the edge of hidden obstacles, I lose my temper and find it again and keep it better, I trudge on, I gain a little, I feel encouraged, I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory. One more effort and I reach the luminous cloud, the blue depths of the sky, the uplands of my desire.

Never let anyone in life tell you that you can't have something that you are willing to work for.

The elevator to success is broken, take the stairs.

I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory.

The major difference between the big shot and the little shot is the big shot is just a little shot who kept on shooting.

Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweated blood, sweat and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success.

Never stop believing you can fulfill your dreams.

Work hard with passion and courage. Life is a marathon of contribution. You really must work hard to accomplish something... Find your passion and get good at it.
