I have found that when preparation meets opportunity, nothing is out of reach. Star Jones Star Jones on unlimited potential October 2, 2015 Source: Forbes, 2015
I’m sure in your experiences—in school…in applying to college…in picking your major…in deciding what you want to do with life—people have told you to make sure you have something to “fall back on.” But I’ve never understood that concept, having something to fall back on. If I’m going to fall, I don’t want to fall back on anything, except my faith. I want to fall… forward. At least I figure that way I’ll see what I’m about to hit. Denzel Washington
I had a mom who told me from the very beginning that you can do or be anything you dream to and I believed it. Chris Gardner
With Obama, the glass ceiling has been broken with what men can aspire to, and now we need to do the same for women and what women can aspire to. Octavia Spencer
So we mustn't run out of steam. Sometimes young women think ‘Dammnnn, I’ve been doing this nine years and I don’t think anything has budged.' But keep plugging away. Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success and then just get a little more. Maya Angelou

Stay on it, stay strong on your path. Many will say no, and that’s okay cause all it takes is that one yes. After that it will all start happening. You can’t give up. Don’t compare your acting life with others. We all mature as actors on different times and levels. Go after your dreams with all you’ve got and then some, because success is waiting for YOU, just around the corner. Anthony Anderson
They tell you: Follow your dreams. Listen to your spirit. Change the world. Make your mark. Find your inner voice and make it sing. Embrace failure. Dream. Dream and dream big. As a matter of fact, dream and don't stop dreaming until all of your dreams come true. I think that's crap. Shonda Rhimes
Dream on baby, don't dream on what you can have, dream about what the devil says you can't have. Dream for the best. Dream for the best healing. Dream for the best deliverance, dream for the best house. Dream for the best car, just 'cause the world don't have it doesn't mean you can't have it. Creflo Dollar
I don’t want to be good at it, I don’t want to be pretty good at it, I want to be world class at it. Chris Gardner
Dreams do come true, but not without the help of others, a good education, a strong work ethic, and the courage to lean in. Ursula Burns
