Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, harness your power to your passion. Honor your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart, and success will come to you.: Oprah Winfrey (1954 - ), Stanford Commencement Adress, 2008

When you choose the paradigm of service, it turns everything you do from a job into a gift.: Oprah Winfrey (1954 - ), Stanford Commencement Adress, 2008
- More quotations on: [Work]
I've come to embrace the notion that I haven't done enough in my life. I've come to confirm that one's title, even a title like president of the United States, says very little about how well one's life has been led. No matter how much you've done or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009

The elevation of appearance over substance, of celebrity over character, of short term gains over lasting achievement displays a poverty of ambition. It distracts you from what's truly important.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
The leaders we revere and the businesses that last are generally not the result of a narrow pursuit of popularity or personal advancement, but of devotion to some bigger purpose. That's the hallmark of real success. The other trapping of success might be the by product of this larger mission, but it can't be the central thing.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
- More quotations on: [Success]
We too often let the material things serve as indicators that we're doing well, even though something inside us tells us that were not doing our best. That we are avoiding that which is hard, but also necessary. That we are shrinking from rather than vising to the challenges of the age.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
- More quotations on: [Possessions]
In recent years, we've become enamored with our own past success. Lulled into complacency by the glitter of our own achievements. We've become accustomed to the title of Military Superpower, forgetting the qualities that got us there. We've become accustomed to our economic dominance in the world, forgetting that it wasn't reckless deals and get rich quick schemes that got us where we are, but hard work and smart ideas, quality products and wise investments.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
- More quotations on: [America]
That's what building a body of work is all about. It's about the daily labor, the many individual acts, the choices large and small that add up over time, over a lifetime to a lasting legacy. It's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because the one thing I know about a body of work is that it's never finished. It's cumulative. It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You haven't even started.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
- More quotations on: [Success]
I know starting careers in troubled times is a challenge, but it is also a privilege. Because it's moments like these that force us to try harder, dig deeper and to discover gifts we never knew we had. To find the greatness that lies within each of us. So don't ever shy away from that endeavor. Don't stop adding to your body of work. I can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort as will be this nation that we all love.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
- More quotations on: [America]
My success has depended wholly on putting things over on people, so I'm not sure that I'm that great a role model. I am, however, an expert on pretending to be an expert on pretending to be an expert.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010
