Kenneth Kaunda Quotes

You will never possess what you are unwilling to pursue.

I am still full of ambition.

Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.

Ambition has no rest!

If you work at it, you can achieve it.

Ambition is a beautiful thing.

I just want the belt. That's the only thing that's pushing me, the only thing that's motivating me.

When a person sets out to achieve something, one doesn't rest until the goal is achieved.

You have to keep your goal in mind and never lose sight of it. I envisioned myself winning the heavyweight title for ten years before I actually captured it. If you're not driven to do your best, you'll never reach the level of excellence in your life.

I've learned from my experience that desire is 80% of achievement. That if you really, really want something, if you really, really, really want to do something, that the vast majority of achieving it is wanting it. I mean, really wanting it. Not a preference, and not, "Gee, I hope this." I mean really wanting it. It is the desire that makes you do what you have to do to achieve.

The more reasons you have for achieving your goal, the more determined you will become.

If you have the ability and want it bad enough, do it!

Success is about dedication. You may not be where you want to be or do what you want to do when you're on the journey. But you've got to be willing to have vision and foresight that leads you to an incredible end.

My mind's never gone very far away from what I wanted to accomplish.

Ambition aspires to descend.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

I have a lot of ambition.

A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

A dream without ambition is like a car without gas... you're not going anywhere.

If you have a burning ambition and desire, absolutely anything can be achieved.

Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.

When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.
