Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

# Phillip Sweet

Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.

I don’t live to work; I work to live.

# Ellen Goodman

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.

#John Ruskin

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

# Erin Cummings

At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful.

No one really sees pro athletes behind the scenes. They don’t know how hard they work. They don’t see how you work on the basics. They couldn’t possibly know. You wouldn’t think that someone who hits like Alex Rodriguez needs to use a tee every day. But that’s how he stayed on top of it.

# Kimbal Mus

I did a business in a box called College Pro Painters. They taught you how to paint houses, how to hire and fire, how to sell, how to deal with customers. You got a one-year franchise.

Life is a series of baby steps along the way and if you add up these tiny little steps you take toward your goal, whatever it is, whether it’s giving up something, a terrible addiction or trying to work your way through an illness. When you total up those baby steps you’d be amazed over the course of 10 years, the strides you’ve taken.

Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.

# Xzibit

I’m doing things that feel good to my soul. I’ve had plenty opportunity to do other things, but it didn’t feel right, and it wasn’t right. And if it feels like work, then it’s work. But if you have that opportunity to do what you love, and you can make a living out of it, then that’s a blessing and I never take that for granted.

# Andrei Tarkovsky

An artist never works under ideal conditions. If they existed, his work wouldn’t exist, for the artist doesn’t live in a vacuum. Some sort of pressure must exist.

The work of art is a scream of freedom.

Well, thing is, after they cancelled ‘Zen’, I didn’t work for eight months. And in that case, it was not my choice. After I’ve done something that I’m really proud of and I think changes the way I’m perceived, the immediate reaction is: nothing.

# Jocko Willink

Don’t think in the morning. That’s a big mistake that people make. They wake up in the morning and they start thinking. Don’t think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some.

Creativity itself doesn’t care at all about results – the only thing it craves is the process. Learn to love the process and let whatever happens next happen, without fussing too much about it. Work like a monk, or a mule, or some other representative metaphor for diligence. Love the work. Destiny will do what it wants with you, regardless.

# Patrick Lencioni

The kind of people that all teams need are people who are humble, hungry, and smart: humble being little ego, focusing more on their teammates than on themselves.

# Adam Hochschild

Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short.

# Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw

I faced a number of challenges whilst I built Biocon. Initially, I had credibility challenges where I couldn’t get banks to fund me; I couldn’t recruit people to work for a woman boss. Even in the businesses where I had to procure raw materials, they didn’t want to deal with women.

# Anna Quindlen

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.

# Tyson Chandler

I used to help my grandfather on the farm, driving tractors, raising crops and animals. I used to feed some of the baby cows and pigs, and I had to be no older than 7 or 8.

# Iain Duncan Smith

Luck is great, but most of life is hard work.

# Florence Pugh

I wanted to go to drama school, but when I got the part in ‘Falling,’ I got an agent, so it seemed a good idea to work. I always did a lot of singing and dancing, so I am glad it worked out that way. I would like to study stage acting at some point, though.

The American Dream is still alive out there, and hard work will get you there. You don’t necessarily need to have an Ivy League education or to have millions of dollars startup money. It can be done with an idea, hard work and determination.

# Michael Korda

If you don’t believe in yourself, then who will believe in you? The next man’s way of getting there might not necessarily work for me, so I have to create my own ways of getting there.

# James E. Casey

One measure of your success will be the degree to which you build up others who work with you. While building up others, you will build up yourself.

# Tom Brady

I always try to do as much as I can do. I’m never a person that does not enough, because I’d regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn’t work.

Gautham was a premature baby. I remember when doctors said that his health condition was critical, I was tense. I could afford the treatment, but a lot of commoners can’t. I believe more children’s lives can be saved if we work towards it.

# Bruce Lipton

Our thoughts are mainly controlled by our subconscious, which is largely formed before the age of 6, and you cannot change the subconscious mind by just thinking about it.

# Ali Krieger

You can control two things: your work ethic and your attitude about anything.

# Arthur Conan Doyle

My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.

# Sheryl Sandberg

We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.

# Daron Malakian

I am depressed sometimes, but it’s not what keeps me at home or focused on work.

I work in three shades of black.

# William Albert Allard

Words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone.

# Kimberle Williams Crenshaw

Intersectionality draws attention to invisibilities that exist in feminism, in anti-racism, in class politics, so, obviously, it takes a lot of work to consistently challenge ourselves to be attentive to aspects of power that we don’t ourselves experience.

# Natalie Massenet

When you love something, it doesn’t feel like work.

# Gregor Mendel

My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.

# Morgan Wootten

It’s often been said that you learn more from losing than you do from winning. I think, if you’re wise, you learn from both. You learn a lot from a loss. You learn what is it that we’re not doing to get to where we want to go. It really gets your attention and it really motivates the work ethic of your team when you’re not doing well.

# Richard Branson

Overcoming fear is the first step to success for entrepreneurs. The winners all exemplify that, and the hard work and commitment they have shown underlines what is needed to set up a business.

He is one of the finest and kindest human beings I have come across. When you meet him, you will understand why he is the Jackie Chan. It’s not just for his work but also the kind of person he is.

As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I’ve done my job.

# Victoria Osteen

When God created you, He went to great lengths to make you exactly the way He wanted you to be. You are His ultimate work of art.

Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle and always want more and more.

# Maurizio Cattelan

Every morning, we choose between milk or tea or coffee. Usually, I know what I like, but I don’t rule out changing my idea sometimes. The editing process is one of the most important parts in everyday life. The same is with my work: mistakes are part of the decision-making process.

# Alex Spanos

The best way to learn is by doing. The only way to build a strong work ethic is getting your hands dirty.

# Mark Warner

My success was due to good luck, hard work, and support and advice from friends and mentors. But most importantly, it depended on me to keep trying after I had failed.

# Patrick Lencioni

Teamwork requires some sacrifice up front; people who work as a team have to put the collective needs of the group ahead of their individual interests.

# Daisaku Ikeda

Women are, in my view, natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life, through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life, they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities.

# Jessie Pavelka

My journey through life has led me through both light and dark places, and it’s because of those experiences that I have learned how to work through my character defects and to help others do the same.

# Jean Piaget

Play is the work of childhood.

# James Corden

I love hard work. ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ was so physically tiring I ached all the time, but I took a massive amount of pride in the fact that I only ever missed two shows.

# Candace Parker

Today I know that there is still work to be done, but along the way my I am achieving my dreams.

# Afrika Bambaataa

The Universal Zulu Nation stands to acknowledge wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, and equality, peace, unity, love, and having fun, work, overcoming the negative through the positive, science, mathematics, faith, facts, and the wonders of God, whether we call him Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, or Jah.

# Mike Rowe

Work ethic is important because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, charisma, or any other natural attribute, it’s a choice.

# Philip Seymour Hoffman

There are a lot of things going on with my life right now that don’t just have to do with career. So I have a hard time making decisions about work. That’s really a luxury problem.

# Norman Rockwell

Some people have been kind enough to call me a fine artist. I’ve always called myself an illustrator. I’m not sure what the difference is. All I know is that whatever type of work I do, I try to give it my very best. Art has been my life.

# Vivien Leigh

Life is too short to work so hard.

# Said Musa

We have much work ahead, to stand still.

# Fidel Castro

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.

# Michael Jordan

If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

# Simon Mainwaring

Creating a better world requires teamwork, partnerships, and collaboration, as we need an entire army of companies to work together to build a better world within the next few decades. This means corporations must embrace the benefits of cooperating with one another.

# Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

Everything we see in the world is the creative work of women.

I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given to participate in that work as a representative of my country, Canada, whose people have, I think, shown their devotion to peace.

# William Moulton Marston

Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.

Work is about more than making a living, as vital as that is. It’s fundamental to human dignity, to our sense of self-worth as useful, independent, free people.

# Lionel Messi

I’m lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.

# Madam C. J. Walker

If I have accomplished anything in life, it is because I have been willing to work hard.

# Burning Spear

When people see a legend, they call it a legend. But to be a legend, it’s a lot of hard work and patience. You can’t play for five or ten years and be a legend. It takes longer than that.

# Michael Moore

Capitalism is an organized system to guarantee that greed becomes the primary force of our economic system and allows the few at the top to get very wealthy and has the rest of us riding around thinking we can be that way, too – if we just work hard enough, sell enough Tupperware and Amway products, we can get a pink Cadillac.

# Robert Greene

Be extra careful in the work environment with those who like to maintain their position through charm and being political, rather than getting things done. They are very prone to envying and hating those who work hard and get results. They will slander and sabotage you without any warning.

I’m impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.

Sometimes it takes dealing with a disability – the trauma, the relearning, the months of rehabilitation therapy – to uncover our true abilities and how we can put them to work for us in ways we may have never imagined.

# Saquon Barkley

Nothing is given to you. Everything is earned. You have to have that mindset that you have to work every single day. Learn every single day.

The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I’d say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.

# Mel Robbins

Life is about growth and exploration, not achieving a fixed state of balance. You have a very limited time on earth to experience all that you can. Figuring out how to squeeze the most out of your family, work, and spirituality is your life’s purpose. Go do it.

I try to keep in mind that it’s a long journey. It’s not a race. It’s about staying focused, continuing to do good work, make my family and community proud; that’s all I really want to do… and pay my bills.

# Bill Pascrell

Today a minimum wage earner has to work a day and a half just to pay for a full tank of gas. That is simply shameful.

I’ve learned that anything in life worth having comes from patience and hard work.

# Rob Dyrdek

Anything is possible if you’re willing to work for it.

# Nipsey Hussle

It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.

# Tom Lehman

To have faith doesn’t mean you get any less frustrated when you don’t do your best, but you know that it’s not life and death. Take what you’re given, and when you continue to work hard, you will see results. That will give you the confidence you need to keep going.

#Ben Quayle

Don’t try to be somebody you’re not because it doesn’t work. If you try to be this perfect person or perfect persona of what you think that somebody should be when they’re involved in public office, it’s just not going to work. Just be yourself, stay true to your core values, and really just stay abreast of the issues.

# Laurence Olivier

I don’t know what is better than the work that is given to the actor – to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.

Eat all the junk food you want – as long as you cook it yourself. That way, it’ll be less junky, and you won’t eat it every day because it’s a lot of work.

# Luciana Berger

Stress is part of life. It is something we all experience from time to time. Sometimes it reflects our own busy lifestyles or key moments such as exams, moving house, organising an event, or coping with a bereavement. Often it is associated with work: meeting a deadline, dealing with difficult people, or meeting stretching targets.

# Henry Ford

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.

# Michelangelo

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.

When you go all over the world for work, your dream vacation is your bedroom.

# Pete Docte

Work hard! In the end, passion and hard work beats out natural talent.

# Michael Flatley

I feel like a tiger right now. There’s nothing impossible if you get up and work for it.

# David S. Rose

The entrepreneurial life is one of challenge, work, dedication, perseverance, exhilaration, agony, accomplishment, failure, sacrifice, control, powerlessness… but ultimately, extraordinary satisfaction.

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.

# John Lewis

We all live in the same house, we all must be part of the effort to hold down our little house. When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just… do something about it. Say something. Have the courage. Have the backbone. Get in the way. Walk with the wind. It’s all going to work out.

# Pope Francis

Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.

# Henry J. Kaiser

Problems are only opportunities in work clothes.

# J. J. Watt

If you don’t have that vision for the end goal, you have no clue where you’re going, and you’re going to work very hard to go nowhere.

# Tyler Perry

Developing a good work ethic is key. Apply yourself at whatever you do, whether you’re a janitor or taking your first summer job, because that work ethic will be reflected in everything you do in life.

# Steve Jobs

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.

# Ralph Marston

Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.

# Nana Patekar

We should judge by talent and work not by community or caste.

# Lori Lightfoot

Let’s stand together, stick together, and work together for justice of every description. Racial justice. Gender justice. Immigrant justice. Economic justice. Environmental justice.

# Irvin D. Yalom

I do not like to work with patients who are in love. Perhaps it is because of envy – I, too, crave enchantment. Perhaps it is because love and psychotherapy are fundamentally incompatible. The good therapist fights darkness and seeks illumination, while romantic love is sustained by mystery and crumbles upon inspection.

# Marc Jacobs

Design is a series of creative choices – it’s a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be.

# Margaret Thatcher

Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan.

# Steve Carell

I think in most relationships that have problems, there’s fault on both sides. And in order for it to work, there has to be some common ground that’s shared. And it’s not just one person making amends.

# Jean-Francois Lyotard

A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.

# Peter Thiel

It’s good to test yourself and develop your talents and ambitions as fully as you can and achieve greater success; but I think success is the feeling you get from a job well done, and the key thing is to do the work.

# David Niven

Keep the circus going inside you, keep it going, don’t take anything too seriously, it’ll all work out in the end.

# Guler Sabanci

I am pleased that my work has been recognized, and I hope to be a role model.

# Tim Burton

When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.

# Bruce Lee

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

# Salman Khan

The older you get, the better you have to look, the higher you have to kick, the harder you have to work.

# Michio Kaku

The job market of the future will consist of those jobs that robots cannot perform. Our blue-collar work is pattern recognition, making sense of what you see. Gardeners will still have jobs because every garden is different. The same goes for construction workers. The losers are white-collar workers, low-level accountants, brokers, and agents.

# Kirsten Dunst

It’s always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you’ve affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.

If you want peace work for justice.

# Randy Pausch

Never lose the childlike wonder. Show gratitude… Don’t complain; just work harder… Never give up.

# Rakul Preet Singh

I believe in hard work, not luck factor. The best efforts will reap the best fruits. Nobody can take all the credit. We don’t even talk about the efforts of the director, the writers, other technicians, etc. They all together take a film to another level.

You can achieve anything you put your mind and hard work to.

# Edinson Cavani

Football is about sacrifice, dedication, a lot of work, and friendship off the pitch.

There is no magic wand that can resolve our problems. The solution rests with our work and discipline.

# Anne Donovan

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play for and work under the best, Pat Summitt.

# Shannon Sharpe

A lot of people mistake habit for hard work. Doing something over and over again is not working hard.

# Klaus Schwab

Change can be frightening, and the temptation is often to resist it. But change almost always provides opportunities – to learn new things, to rethink tired processes, and to improve the way we work.

# Earl Nightingale

Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.

# Victoria Beckham

I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.

# Tom Hanks

My TV show had been cancelled; nothing else had gone anywhere; some alliances I had made petered out and nothing came of them and I was looking at a long, long year ahead of me in which there was no work on the horizon, the phone wasn’t ringing. I had two kids, one of them a brand-new baby, and I didn’t know if I would be able to keep my house.

# Hero Fiennes-Tiffin

If you’re good, you’ll get work. And if I’ve got food in my fridge and clothes on my back, I’ll be happy.

# Thomas Sowell

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.

# Carli Lloyd

If you have a dream, it’s definitely achievable through hard work, through dedication, sacrifice, everything.

# Derek Jeter

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that’s a really good feeling.

# Elbert Hubbard

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there’s so little competition.

# George Carlin

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.

# Óscar Arias

Peace is a never ending process… It cannot ignore our differences or overlook our common interests. It requires us to work and live together.

# Paul Coffey

Nobody’s a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It’s hard to stay on top.

# Ma Long

Glory is attained from hard work, step by step.

# Narendra Modi

Federalism is no longer the fault line of Centre-State relations but the definition of a new partnership of Team India. Citizens now have the ease of trust, not the burden of proof and process. Businesses find an environment that is open and easy to work in.

# Theodor W. Adorno

Work while you work, play while you play – this is a basic rule of repressive self-discipline.

# Santan Dave

Just be thankful for what you have in the moment, but most importantly, work hard. The things that you work hard on have a lot of impact.

# Michael Phelps

I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything.

It’s not an experiment if you know it’s going to work. s

# Frederick W. Taylor

Hardly a competent workman can be found who does not devote a considerable amount of time to studying just how slowly he can work and still convince his employer that he is going at a good pace.

# Leonardo da Vinci

A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.

# Francis of Assisi

If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

# Pete Hoekstra

Hard work, years of sacrifice, and dedication are necessary to succeed in the real world. Snowden’s most notable accomplishment was lying about his military service, his experience, and education to procure a job with the NSA in the first place.

# Ken Griffey Jr.

Just because I made it look easy doesn’t mean that it was and you don’t work hard and become a Hall of Famer without working day in and day out.

# Michael Johnson

Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.

# Tim Tebow

I have so many things to work on, and so many ways that I fail. But that’s what grace is all about. And I constantly wake up every morning trying to get better, trying to improve, trying to walk closer to God.

# Chuck Jones

A lion’s work hours are only when he’s hungry; once he’s satisfied, the predator and prey live peacefully together.

# Simon Sinek

If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood, sweat, and tears.

# Christie Brinkley

Adopting a really positive attitude can work wonders to adding years to your life, a spring to your step, a sparkle to your eye, and all of that.

Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we’ve always had: work, or prison.

# Charles Schwab

I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.

# Mara Brock Akil

Financial freedom is available to those who learn about it and work for it.

Dreams do come true if you work hard and you get your head down.

# Janet Yellen

Productivity depends on many factors, including our workforce’s knowledge and skills and the quantity and quality of the capital, technology, and infrastructure that they have to work with.

# Jose Rizal

I do not write for this generation. I am writing for other ages. If this could read me, they would burn my books, the work of my whole life. On the other hand, the generation which interprets these writings will be an educated generation; they will understand me and say: ‘Not all were asleep in the nighttime of our grandparents.’

# Tarana Burke

If we don’t center the voices of marginalized people, we’re doing the wrong work.

# Amy Morin

Sticking to good habits can be hard work, and mistakes are part of the process. Don’t declare failure simply because you messed up or because you’re having trouble reaching your goals. Instead, use your mistakes as opportunities to grow stronger and become better.

# Laurence J. Peter

Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise.

# Sheri L. Dew

Neither man nor woman is perfect or complete without the other. Thus, no marriage or family, no ward or stake is likely to reach its full potential until husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, men and women work together in unity of purpose, respecting and relying upon each other’s strengths.

# Sidney Poitier

I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.

# Jean Chatzky

While you’re going through this process of trying to find the satisfaction in your work, pretend you feel satisfied. Tell yourself you had a good day. Walk through the corridors with a smile rather than a scowl. Your positive energy will radiate. If you act like you’re having fun, you’ll find you are having fun.

# Wilt Chamberlain

I believe that good things come to those who work.

# Jessica Savitch

For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work.

# Brad Marchand

Practice makes perfect and if you practice battling and competing and working hard, then that will transfer over in a game. If you practice just kind of floating around out there in practice, you know that’s going to transfer over, too. So I think the harder you work and the more you compete, then that’s how you’re going to play in a game.

# Johnny Ball

Discrimination due to age is one of the great tragedies of modern life. The desire to work and be useful is what makes life worth living, and to be told your efforts are not needed because you are the wrong age is a crime.

# Katie Ledecky

I would encourage you to set really high goals. Set goals that, when you set them, you think they’re impossible. But then every day you can work towards them, and anything is possible, so keep working hard and follow your dreams.

# Katy Perry

I get a lot of the ideas when I’m resting – either when I’m meditating or getting some kind of work done on my back, like physical therapy or acupuncture. That’s where I get my best ideas, maybe because I’m balancing my body.

Your most important work is always ahead of you, never behind you.

You’ve just got to have to put the work in. Put work first. Put the hours in and the time in, and do your job. And when you get a little time off, you can go out and have a little fun. But you have to make sure you get done what you need to get done first off.

# Chaim Weizmann

Miracles sometimes occur, but one has to work terribly hard for them.

# Steve Jobs

It’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.

# Robert Kraft

A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don’t have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.

# Darren Till

I’m not scared of anyone. I don’t care whether you are a jiu-jitsu fighter or a wrestler or a stand-up fighter: I want to put myself against you, and I want to see who is better. And if you are the guy that is going to beat me, I’m going to take that loss like a man and go back, and I’ll work on me self. That’s how I look at fighting.

# Nonito Donaire

The motivation is in my heart to work toward my goals and my dreams.

# Lizzo

I work on myself daily to be a better person. When I react in a negative way to somebody, I sit back and think about why I did it, so I’m always working on myself, and my music is the same.

# Blake Griffin

Sometimes you just have to calm down a little bit and let the system work itself.

# Gordon B. Hinckley

Some of our finest work comes through service to others.

A man’s face is his autobiography. A woman’s face is her work of fiction.

I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.

# Jane Lynch

I would love to do the therapist on ‘Two and a Half Men’ again or just work with Charlie Sheen.

# Dhanush

I come from a very humble background. My father had to work really hard to become an assistant director. For a large part of his youth, he worked in a mill and took up odd jobs to make ends meet. We lived in a small room and could only afford a meal a day.

# Derrick Henry

You control your own destiny. You go out there and work hard and show people that you come to work and earn your respect. All you can control is how you go out there and perform every day.

# Rudolf Diesel

The automobile engine will come, and then I will consider my life’s work complete.

# Hugh Masekela

Whatever you go into, you have to go in there to be the best. There’s no formulas. It’s all about passion and honesty and hard work. It might look glamorous, but it takes a lot of hard work. The blessing with the arts is that you can do it forever.

# Steven Wilson

Owning vinyl is like having a beautiful painting hanging in your living room. It’s something you can hold, pore over the lyrics, and immerse yourself in the art work.

# Lou Holtz

Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.

# Big Freedia

Everyone has a butt. No matter what size it is, you can work it.

# Reba McEntire

Be different, stand out, and work your butt off.

# Sam Walton

If you love your work, you’ll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you – like a fever.

I think that passion is the secret ingredient that drives hard work and excellence. My passion is to serve the public: to be in the arena of public policy, to have the opportunity to solve problems for our country, to be in a position where I can make a difference.

# Riteish Deshmukh

If you are sincere and true to your work, you will be respected. And for me, respect is power.

# Percy Sledge

I had the great opportunity to work with some of the greatest artists – the Beach Boys, the Temptations, the Four Tops. Otis Redding. Wilson Pickett. Stevie Wonder. So many great singers. And don’t forget Clarence Carter!

# Simon Sinek

A leader’s job is not to do the work for others, it’s to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.

# Vaclav Havel

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.

# Ralph Hasenhuttl

To work for the team and for the success of the team. That is more important than one ego.

# Daniel Burnham

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.

# Marina Abramovic

Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity.

# Eleanor Roosevelt

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

# Janet Yellen

Although we work through financial markets, our goal is to help Main Street, not Wall Street.

# Kim Kardashian

If I don’t feel confident about my body, I’m not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It’s all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it’s fitness or whatever. It’s about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

# Russell Crowe

The important thing to me is that I’m not driven by people’s praise and I’m not slowed down by people’s criticism. I’m just trying to work at the highest level I can.

# Sharan Burrow

We all need to work together, because there are no jobs on a dead planet; there is no equity without rights to decent work and social protection, no social justice without a shift in governance and ambition, and, ultimately, no peace for the peoples of the world without the guarantees of sustainability.

# Maria Montessori

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

# Myles Munroe

Prayer is our invitation to God to intervene in the affairs of earth. It is our request for Him to work His ways in this world.

# Novalis

The artist belongs to his work, not the work to the artist.

# John Williams

To continue to work, to continue to love what you do, is certainly a contributing element to one’s longevity and health.

# A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people.

# Mickalene Thomas

I define my work as a feminist act and a political act because I’m black and a woman. You don’t necessarily have to claim that, but the act of making art itself is a political and feminist act when you’re a woman.

# John Van Hamersveld

I look at graphic design as communication, meaning that the work has to have a vibe to connect to the viewer or perceiver. I make a black and white drawing and then add color digitally, bringing in a contemporary pattern to the composition to create a vibrance.

# Laura Lang

You can have anything you want, but not everything. If it was really important to spend an afternoon at my daughter’s school, I had to think, how was I going to organize my life to do that? How could I become more efficient? I always tried to put my priorities on the table, personal and professional, and work around them.

# Margaret J. Wheatley

In our daily life, we encounter people who are angry, deceitful, intent only on satisfying their own needs. There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together.

# Mark Brand

Critique, feedback, reaction to one’s work or the way they have presented it, regardless of intention, is a gift.

# Sherry Turkle

I am a partisan for conversation. To make room for it, I see some first, deliberate steps. At home, we can create sacred spaces: the kitchen, the dining room. We can make our cars ‘device-free zones.’ We can demonstrate the value of conversation to our children. And we can do the same thing at work.

# David Brainerd

We should always look upon ourselves as God’s servants, placed in God’s world, to do his work; and accordingly labour faithfully for him; not with a design to grow rich and great, but to glorify God, and do all the good we possibly can.

# Randy Johnson

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you’re going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.

# JuJu Smith-Schuster

It all starts off on the field. In any sport, that’s how you catch people’s attention. From there, you kinda show your fans, your following, what kind of person you are and your personality. I let the field work do its work.

# Orlando Bloom

Life sometimes doesn’t work out exactly as we plan or hope for.

# Emraan Hashmi

Just be yourself. Be honest, work towards a goal, and you’ll achieve it.

My dad was a man of integrity who taught me to always do the right thing even when nobody is watching. He ran a trucking company, and watching how he operated his business instilled a drive and work ethic that stuck with me.

#Jeff Bezos

There are two kinds of companies, those that work to try to charge more and those that work to charge less. We will be the second.

# Arthur Schopenhauer

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

# Kubra Sait

You can never go wrong when you have a great team to work with.

# Taylor Lautner

Nothing comes without hard work. I’ve been taught that by many people growing up.

# Shelby Steele

Conservatism is the perfect antidote to underdevelopment. Its commitment to individual responsibility, education, hard work, personal initiative, traditional family values and free markets is a universal formula for success in a free society.

# Kim Kardashian

You make mistakes, but I don’t have any regrets. I’m the kind of person who takes responsibility for it and deals with it. I learn from everything I do. I work very hard, I have so many things going on in my life. Get to know me and see who I am.

# George Carlin

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

# Roma Downey

I think we all do have a guardian angel. I believe they work through us all the time, when we are thoughtful and good and kind to each other.

# Bobby Kotick

Autonomy leads to empowerment. We work hard to maintain a balance between collaboration and cooperation and independence.

It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.

Whether it’s police officers, firefighters, first responders, or 911 dispatchers, many dedicated Americans work long hours, and often in difficult conditions, to make sure that when someone’s in need, they can help.

# Johnny Lever

Talent is given by God but you should respect it by doing good work.

# John Burroughs

For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice – no paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service.

Hard work keeps the wrinkles out of the mind and spirit.

I feel I am lucky. I am grateful for this life that God has given me. I am happy, as I am getting to do work that I want to do and enjoy doing it.

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word – excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.

# Luther Campbell

Goodness and hard work are rewarded with respect.

# Lili Reinhart

I’m not grateful for depression, but it honestly made me work harder and gave me the drive that I have to succeed and to make it work.

# Marcus Buckingham

We dream of having a clean house – but who dreams of actually doing the cleaning? We don’t have to dream about doing the work, because doing the work is always within our grasp; the dream, in this sense, is to attain the goal without the work.

# Jeff Rich

Life is a work in progress.

# Steve Prefontaine

I’m going to work so that it’s a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.

Laziness in my biggest pet peeve of all time. Get up, make a plan, do the work, and love yourself, people!

# Edmund Burke

Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair.

# Joseph Mawle

I grew up in a farming family. I hated cleaning out the chickens but loved hatching them and feeding the new born sheep. The smell of hot milk still has a special resonance for me. Harvest was back-breaking work, though… Where do you think Jesus got his biceps from?

# Robert Kiyosaki

Assets put money in your pocket, whether you work or not, and liabilities take money from your pocket.

# Gabrielle Carteris

Equal pay for equal work is a fundamental concept of labor agreements.

# Sushant Singh Rajput

My strength would be my honesty and my passion towards my work.

# Ellen G. White

Study and work and work and study will keep in active exercise both the physical and mental. These two, rightly conducted, will not war against each other.

# Priyanka Chopra

I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand. I was studying to be an engineer when my mom and my brother sent my pictures for the Miss India contest. I didn’t even know about it. If that isn’t destiny, what is?

# Michelle Obama

Our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted – folks who work hard for what they have, then reach back and help others after them.

# Marty Meehan

As we celebrate Black History Month we should be grateful for the achievements they made and inspired by their legacies to continue their work.

# Son Ye-jin

I didn’t understand at first why I couldn’t meet a guy for so long. But as time goes by, I understood why actresses usually get married late. I think their hearts for work become bigger and happiness from the work takes the most space in their hearts.

# Winnie Byanyima

A good leader, in my view, should have a clear vision of the future they want and the society they need to build. They must also have a connection with the people who work for them and be able to mobilise their best energies to create teams where people can be most creative and happy.

# Nate Robinson

My dad said, ‘Stay humble, and you gotta work harder than everybody else.’ My mom said, ‘Always be yourself.’ She always told me only God can judge me.

# Angela Davis

I think the importance of doing activist work is precisely because it allows you to give back and to consider yourself not as a single individual who may have achieved whatever but to be a part of an ongoing historical movement.

# Lillie Langtry

Anyone’s life truly lived consists of work, sunshine, exercise, soap, plenty of fresh air, and a happy contented spirit.

I just hate losing and that gives you an extra determination to work harder.

# Norman Vincent Peale

Four things for success: work and pray, think and believe.

# Tyler Perry

The Bible says that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. I believe that. Because I’ve seen it all work.

# J. Michael Straczynski

Never follow somebody else’s path; it doesn’t work the same way twice for anyone… the path follows you and rolls up behind you as you walk, forcing the next person to find their own way. x

# Tyler Perry

My biggest success is getting over the things that have tried to destroy and take me out of this life. Those are my biggest successes. It has nothing to do with work.

Work hard. Through determination and self-focus and discipline, you can accomplish anything.

# Whitney M. Young

The hardest work in the world is being out of work.

You’ve gotta believe in yourself, and you just have to work harder at it than you’ve ever worked at anything before in your life. And if you keep doing that and keep believing in yourself, great things do happen.

# Mj Rodriguez

Every single day, I wake up and take a glimpse of where I am now compared to where I was before, and the work that we have all put in to be in this space. I think of that, and being able to express myself through my art and show up and be present – that’s activism, advocacy, and artistry in itself.

# Sam Graves

When we stop running up huge budget deficits and start acting responsibly in Washington, we will provide small-business owners with the certainty they need to put Americans back to work.

# Casey Kasem

Success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You’re only as good as the people you work with and the people you work for.

# Bill Flores

Imagine having all of your freedoms taken away, being forced to work against your will, and constantly living under the threat of violence – in short, being forced to live as a slave. Sadly, this situation is a reality for millions of children, women, and men each year as part of the global human trafficking industry.

# Marc Anthony

Be quiet, or my wife will take away your first born and make him or her work in one of her sweatshops!

# Ogden Nash

People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.

If you ever think about me, and you ain’t gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don’t want myself on your mind if you’re not going to work for the people.

# Maya Angelou

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

# Amy Jackson

It’s not easy, but I’m really enjoying what I am doing. One day I am in Chennai, the other in Mumbai, then in Coimbatore. But I love my job, and I am really passionate about my work.

# Ronald Reagan

It’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?

#Bernie Siegel

Feelings aroused by the touch of someone’s hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith – all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well.

# Bernie Sanders

Unemployment insurance, abolishing child labor, the 40-hour work week, collective bargaining, strong banking regulations, deposit insurance, and job programs that put millions of people to work were all described, in one way or another, as ‘socialist.’ Yet, these programs have become the fabric of our nation and the foundation of the middle class.

# Bernie Sandersv

Unemployment insurance, abolishing child labor, the 40-hour work week, collective bargaining, strong banking regulations, deposit insurance, and job programs that put millions of people to work were all described, in one way or another, as ‘socialist.’ Yet, these programs have become the fabric of our nation and the foundation of the middle class.

# Sean Covey

Some of the more popular life-centers for teens include Friends, Stuff, Enemies, Self, and Work. They each have their good points, but they are all incomplete in one way or another, and they’ll mess you up if you center your life on any one of them to the exclusion of the others.

# Greg Akcelrod

I think if you want to become a great football player, professional, you must give all the time one hundred percent, you must work hard – to be lucky is a good thing – but if you work hard and you give everything you will have great success.

# Wiz Khalifa

I’ve done a lot of work to get where I’m at, but I have to keep working.

# Toni Morrison

I get angry about things, then go on and work.

# Phil Knight

There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success.

# Paul Valery

An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.

When you work for something, you appreciate it more. So what are y’all going to do with all the opportunities you inherited that you didn’t have to work for?

# Juice Wrld

I don’t want to get lost in everything. I just want to keep the same work ethic.

Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.

# Christy Turlington

I enjoy the celebration of my birthday as much as anyone else does, but I always remember to start my day thanking my mom because she did most of the work the day I came into the world, not to mention all she has done throughout my life that has contributed so much to the woman I am today.

# Carly Chaikin

I couldn’t be luckier to wake up every morning and be so excited to get to work, even if it’s five in the morning.

We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don’t want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.

# Jahangir Khan

To be the best, I had to work harder than everyone else.

# Maya Angelou

I did work in a strip club, but I didn’t strip. I danced, and I became very popular.

# Carol S. Dweck

You try something, it doesn’t work, and maybe people even criticize you. In a fixed mindset, you say, ‘I tried this, it’s over.’ In a growth mindset, you look for what you’ve learned.

# Mike Rowe

My mother’s dad dropped out of the eighth grade to work. He had to. By the time he was 30, he was a master electrician, plumber, carpenter, mason, mechanic. That guy was, to me, a magician. Anything that was broken, he could fix. Anybody anywhere in our community knew that if there was a problem, Carl was there to fix it.

No matter what comes, I will always work hard and do my best.

# Brad Goreski

I am very lucky to have the opportunity to travel to so many amazing destinations for work!

# David Tepper

I was never afraid to go back to Pittsburgh and work in the steel mills.

# Yair Lapid

The win-win situation is the basis for America’s entire business world. Instead of wasting our time attempting to defeat each other, let’s find a way that will make both of us gain and go home satisfied. In Israel, it doesn’t work because the only meaning of victory is seeing your rival’s body lying trampled on the floor.

# Bob Fosse

Live like you’ll die tomorrow, work like you don’t need the money, and dance like nobody’s watching.

# Henri Matisse

Derive happiness in oneself from a good day’s work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.

# Andrew Ng

We can build a much brighter future where humans are relieved of menial work using AI capabilities.

# Oscar Wilde

All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex and vital.

# Louisa May Alcott

Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.

I have been fortunate to have worked with immensely talented writers and directors who have had faith in me. There’s been very little hard work but a lot of learning. I have learnt from each of my characters, and I think that’s rather amazing.

# Juan Manuel Santos

Anybody who doesn’t see the impact of climate change is really, I would say, myopic. They don’t see the reality. It’s so evident that we are destroying Mother Earth. This is not the problem of one country or a few countries: it is the problem of mankind. We need to work together to stop this. Otherwise, our future generations will simply disappear.

# Anderson Paak

Not everything is going to be handed to you just because you’re talented with a big smile. Sometimes you just gotta get out and shoot jumpers for hours and hours and hours. That’s something I didn’t really get a grasp on until way later, waking up early and treating it like a job if you’re serious about it. Get the freak up and, you know, work.

# John Muir

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirlingJohn Muir and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.

# Lana Turner

It’s said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies – because you never know when you’ll have to work with them. x

# Willem Dafoe

I think on some level, you do your best things when you’re a little off-balance, a little scared. You’ve got to work from mystery, from wonder, from not knowing.

# Gnash

Whatever you wanna be, just, at the end of the day, if you’re being a good person, which is not hard to be, and you’re putting positive energy into the world, and you’re appreciative and loving to the people around you that care about you and everybody in general, then it’ll work out.

# Tracy McMillan

Women with low self-esteem love bad boys. Women who have work to do love bad boys. Women who love themselves love good men.

The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.

# Brian McBride

Put your head down and work as hard as you can because there is always someone better out there.

# John Carroll Lynch

Work begets work. Just work. If you work, people will find out about you and want to work with you if you’re good. So work anywhere you can. That’s why I’ve changed my mind about these theatres where people work for free or have to pay money. I think it’s kind of terrible that they feel they have to, but you know what? They’re working.

# Sterling K. Brown

My work schedule doesn’t always accommodate my workout schedule, but I make do with what time I’ve got.

# George Benson

I haven’t done anything with Chick Corea. He had a group called Return to Forever, and everyone in the group became a superstar. I would really like to work with him.

# Patti Smith

I didn’t know Kurt Cobain or Amy Winehouse, but I was affected by both of their deaths because I admired their work so much and mourned their youth and work they would never produce.

# Scott Walker

It’s time to put our differences aside and find ways to work together to move Wisconsin forward.

# Robert Orben

If you can laugh together, you can work together.

# Maya Moore

I think our criminal justice system has two problems. We have systematic problems and we have people problems. So if the hearts of people are not about justice than any system you have won’t work.

# Geeta Phogat

It’s about hard work and not gender.

# Jamie Dimon

I’m a little bit of an eternal optimist. People always say to me, ‘If you go do this and it fails, what are you going to do?’ I don’t care. I’m going to give it my best shot. That’s what I’m going to do. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. And I’ll try again.

# Jim Valvano

How do you go from where you are to where you wanna be? And I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal. And you have to be willing to work for it.

# Jamshyd Godrej

While academic abilities remain integral, it is the work ethics that form the soul of the business.

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

# George Eliot

The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.

# Janet Jackson

A lot of people who start work at a very young age never grow up because they never got that opportunity to be a child, so they hold on to that and still do a lot of childish, silly things.

# Patrick Swayze

How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you’re a dead man? You go to work.

I wouldn’t be where I am right now, and have the right work ethic and discipline, if it weren’t for all the indie films I did. We weren’t pampered and were pretty much on our own.

# Conor McGregor

I wish everyone well, but you need to focus on yourself. You need to stop putting your hand out. Everyone wants hand outs. Everyone wants things for free. You’ve got to put in the work. You’ve got to grind. You’ve got go through the struggle, and you’ve got to get it.

# Christina Applegate

If somebody says no to you, or if you get cut, Michael Jordan was cut his first year, but he came back and he was the best ever. That is what you have to have. The attitude that I’m going to show everybody, I’m going to work hard to get better and better.

# Robin S. Sharma

Leave your ego at the door every morning, and just do some truly great work. Few things will make you feel better than a job brilliantly done.

# Magic Johnson

If somebody says no to you, or if you get cut, Michael Jordan was cut his first year, but he came back and he was the best ever. That is what you have to have. The attitude that I’m going to show everybody, I’m going to work hard to get better and better.

# Brady Corbet

I realized that work doesn’t beget work. Good work begets work. So I got a lot more patient and stopped worrying about working all the time.

# Andy Reid

Respecting people is an important part of life, whether it’s the person doing janitorial work or the person above you. It doesn’t matter who you are: I’m going to respect you.

# Jason Mraz

I’m totally into new age and self-help books. I used to work in a bookstore and that’s the section they gave me, and I got way into it. I just loved the power of positive thinking, letting yourself go.

# Marilyn vos Savant

Email, instant messaging, and cell phones give us fabulous communication ability, but because we live and work in our own little worlds, that communication is totally disorganized.

# Mike Farrell

My dreams for the future are simple: work, a happy, healthy family, a lovely long motorcycle ride, and continuing the struggle to awaken people to the need for serious human rights reform.

# Jennifer Ehle

My natural accent is American. I chose to speak with a U.K. accent when I was about to enter the final year at drama school in London. I was going to try to find a way to stay in the U.K. after I finished college and could not imagine trying to live and get work there with an American accent.

# Yuna

I feel very honoured and humbled to have people think, ‘If Yuna can break through, then why can’t we?’ It takes a lot of work, but I tell people to just have that focus. Always be humble and a learner, practice and do research.

# Queen Elizabeth II

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

# Richard P. Feynman

There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‘play’ with them!

# Travis Scott

My work ethic is crazy. I’m a producer, an artist, and a video director.

# Narendra Modi

I was born in a very poor family. I used to sell tea in a railway coach as a child. My mother used to wash utensils and do lowly household work in the houses of others to earn a livelihood. I have seen poverty very closely. I have lived in poverty. As a child, my entire childhood was steeped in poverty.

# Michael Korda

The biggest fool in the world is he who merely does his work supremely well, without attending to appearance.

# Paloma Picasso

Nothing in the world can be more exciting than to create something and see it work.

# Kate Moss

You can be a pretty face, but if you’re not a nice person, it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right. If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.

# Jay Samit

There is no better feeling than doing well while you are doing good. If you really want to meet the nicest, most caring people in your field, get involved with charity work. The thankless hours that go into planning charity dinners, running a carnival, and gathering donations for silent auctions are noticed and appreciated.

# Ralph Bunche

To make our way, we must have firm resolve, persistence, tenacity. We must gear ourselves to work hard all the way. We can never let up.

# Alexander Hamilton

I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.

# John Dos Passos

The creation of a world view is the work of a generation rather than of an individual, but we each of us, for better or for worse, add our brick to the edifice.

# Caitlyn Jenner

Life wasn’t easy growing up; it was frustrating. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily, everything would have come easily, and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

# Felicia Day

Every single job is a challenge. You are walking into a new set, a new character, creating a world and trying to get comfortable to do your best work.

# Jay Samit

There is a huge difference between failing and failure. Failing is trying something that you learn doesn’t work. Failure is throwing in the towel and giving up. True success comes from failing repeatedly and as quickly as possible, before your cash or your willpower runs out.

# Kim Alexis

I really discovered I had thyroid disease by accident. My son was having some health concerns, and as I filled out his patient history I noticed I had a lot of similar symptoms. I mentioned it to the doctor, and he ran blood work and finally an ultrasound of my thyroid.

I am proud of where I came from, and I am proud of what I’ve been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn’t walked a day in my shoes.

# Aristotle

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

# Ivanka Trump

Marrying Jared was the best decision I’ve ever made. You realize in life, not that many things matter that much, but your choice of a spouse is everything. We’re truly partners – he supports my work and my ambitions. I know that he’s always got my back, and I’ve got his.

# Zoe Bell

I met this group of stunt people and it was like, I had found family instantly. We’re all a variety of different personalities, but whatever that mutual joy or appreciation of the work is, I’d not felt it like that before. It was, ‘Yeah, I’d like to do this forever.’

# Paul Washer

We know that men are saved by repentance and faith, and whoever does call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. But salvation is a supernatural work of God that will always produce fruit. And the evidence, not the cause, but the evidence of salvation is a changed life, a changing life.

# H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Don’t work for recognition, but do work worthy of recognition.

# Shaquem Griffin

A lot of people in our generation like to make excuses about little things that really don’t hinder them from doing what they want to. It always comes down to the work ethic.

# W. E. B. Du Bois

A little less complaint and whining, and a little more dogged work and manly striving, would do us more credit than a thousand civil rights bills.

# DJ Khaled

I’ve been blessed to be somebody that’s been climbing that success mountain top for years of hard work, you know, but now it’s all connecting. And now, the whole world is watching, you know what I’m saying, and it feels good ’cause it’s good energy. This is all positive vibes, and good vibes and good energy, so it feels incredible.

# Brendon Burchard

Remember: when you knock on the door of Opportunity, it is Work who answers!

# Fawad Khan

I was born in Karachi, where my father used to work in the sales department of a pharmaceutical company.

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

# Amy Adams

# Angie Thomas

You just have to find your activism, and don’t let anyone tell you what that should look like. If you’re doing the work, and you’re getting someone to think, you’re on the right path.

# Theodor W. Adorno

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

# Leonhard Euler

For since the fabric of the universe is most perfect and the work of a most wise Creator, nothing at all takes place in the universe in which some rule of maximum or minimum does not appear.

You can’t please everyone, and you have to trust your instincts, and you have to do your work and throw yourself in there and trust your instincts, and just trust that you’re doing a good job that I can be proud of as well.

# Marcus Aurelius

Begin – to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished.

# Boris Johnson

I’ve got more in common with a three-toed sloth than I have with Winston Churchill. There is no easy comparison with any modern politician. The more you read about him, the more completely amazed you are about what he did – his energy, his literary fecundity, his ability to work – just unbelievable energy.

# Mary Oliver

To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.

# Stephen Covey

If you want small changes in your life, work on your attitude. But if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm.

I think I’ve realized that when you are aiming to create a real body of work, you are as much defined by the things you don’t do as by the things you do.

If you have fun and keep a good attitude, people want to work with you.

# Paul McCartney

I don’t work at being ordinary.

# Anatole France

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.

I would like to see the day when somebody would be appointed surgeon somewhere who had no hands, for the operative part is the least part of the work.

The work of anti-racism can only take place inside each individual soul, where we all try to grow into better people. There is no national tonic or instant cure.

# Frank Lloyd Wright

Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art.

# Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

It keeps me humble just to know exactly where I came from and all the hard work I had to put in to be here. It feels good to reminisce about the past.

# Charles de Lint

The beginning of a friendship, the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends, seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don’t mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.

# Bat for Lashes

When I was young, I wanted to be a writer or painter. I was always writing stories, and I excelled at drawing. My teachers encouraged my art work. When I was 9 or 10, I began learning piano and started writing music.

# Carroll Shelby

In 1964, when Lee Iacocca said, ‘Shelby, I want you to make a sports car out of the Mustang,’ the first thing I said was, ‘Lee, you can’t make a race horse out of a mule. I don’t want to do it.’ He said, ‘I didn’t ask you to make it; you work for me.’

# John Cornforth

Throughout my scientific career, my wife has been my most constant collaborator. Her experimental skill made major contributions to the work; she has eased for me beyond measure the difficulties of communication that accompany deafness; her encouragement and fortitude have been my strongest supports.

# John Gokongwei

I don’t rely on feng shui. I believe hard work brings us good luck and success.

# Bruce Arians

I work hard, but I also play hard. Everyone needs balance in life. Bruce Arians

# Govinda

When you join a political party, you are attaching yourself with an organisation of skilled people. And when you work with an organisation, your working capacity becomes double. One can perform better with the help of an organisation to implement their thoughts.

# Mette Frederiksen

When you come to Denmark, you have the chance to live in a free, peaceful country with access to free education, free medical aid and the opportunity to work. To benefit from that requires responsibility. If you don’t assume that responsibility, it is a breach in trust.

# Katie Hill

On both sides of my family, my grandparents grew up in total poverty and came to California during the Great Depression. The only way they were able to work their way out of that was by joining the military, which is how they both went on to be able to go to college.

# Marcus Samuelsson

They say never trust a skinny chef, but the fact is, to stay healthy when you’re a chef means you have to work twice as hard.

# Aaron Donald

It’s not that hard to be good, you can be good off raw talent. But I feel like it’s that extra step, doing work and putting a body of work in and doing things when nobody else is watching. When nobody else is telling you to do it, you’re pushing yourself to do it.

# Eli Whitney

One of my primary objects is to form the tools so the tools themselves shall fashion the work and give to every part its just proportion.

# Rick Santorum

The more moral the people are in their business dealings, the less paperwork you need, the more handshakes you can have, the more the wheels of capitalism work better because there’s trust in the marketplace. Business ethics is not a joke. And, in fact, I think most businesses that I’ve dealt with encourage exactly that type of behavior.

# Tony Vincent

Surround yourself with people you can always learn something from. Always work with people that are better at their craft than you are.

# Robin Leach

In Italy, they add work and life on to food and wine.

# Goldie Hawn

A lasting relationship isn’t about marriage. It’s about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work.

# Niklaus Wirth

# Lauryn Hill

Reality is easy. It’s deception that’s the hard work.

# Alicia Vikander

I am very fortunate to work with people I have seen on the screen so many times and admired, and they are in the public eye, and I have seen how they handle it. There are definitely ways to just keep on enjoying the profession and the work. Other people tell me that things are going to change.

# Stefano Gabbana

You have to work very hard behind the scenes, to make a message clear enough for a lot of people to understand.

# William Singe

I will continue to work hard until I get to where I want to be.

# Azim Premji

The three ordinary things that we often don’t pay enough attention to, but which I believe are the drivers of all success, are hard work, perseverance, and basic honesty.

# Christo

We tell them that we believe it will be beautiful because that is our specialty, we only create joy and beauty. We have never done a sad work. Through the drawings, we hope a majority will be able to visualize it.

# Alan Alda

It’s a funny feeling to work with people who you consider your colleagues and to realize that they actually are young enough to be your children.

# Jaylen Brown

I’m overly confident. I believe in myself 100 percent. I believe in my game, and I believe in my work ethic.

# John Lydon

Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt; they don’t care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called ‘Order Of Death,’ and they’ve really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That’s living!

# Cesaro

I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I think that shows hard work pays off. A good thing takes a while.

# Lance Gross

It’s shown and proved that hard work pays off. Make goals, achieve them and replace them with new goals.

# Cai Guo-Qiang

My work is like a dialogue between me and unseen powers, like alchemy.

# Anushka Shetty

When I used to teach yoga in Bangalore and Mumbai, I noticed many clients struggling to cope with their weight. During some days, they would come in with plans to work out harder than usual because of events they’d have to attend later that week. The insecurity of appearance is something everyone goes through… even I.

# Julie Andrews

Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.

# Virat Kohli

Whatever you want to do, do with full passion and work really hard towards it. Don’t look anywhere else. There will be a few distractions, but if you can be true to yourself, you will be successful for sure.

# David Oyelowo

For me, I’m always looking for opportunities to work with people who are better than me, who are more experienced than me, people from whom I can learn. And who could I learn more from than someone with an unprecedented movie star career that has spanned over thirty years whose name is Tom Cruise?

# Kaia Gerber

Modeling is really what I do during my free time. It’s fun for me, so it doesn’t feel like work. I choose to do it.

It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I’d rather spend my energy smiling.

# Julie Bowen

I’m so not stylish by nature, but I’ve learned to work with what I have.

# Justine Skye

No one can predict the future, but what I do know is that myself and my team work hard every day to make sure that my vision, my sound, and my brand reach their full potential.

# Will Arnett

Because ‘Gob’ was a terrible magician, he was always, in great comedic moments, messing up his magic act. We used to have magicians come in to work on these tricks to actually get them wrong. But they still had to work. We had to bring magicians on to make magic not work.

# Marsai Martin

You’re gonna get a lot of nos more than yeses, but you have to find the right people who trust in you and believe in you and will continue to work with you because you’ve got potential.

# Lewis Howes

Effective networking isn’t a result of luck – it requires hard work and persistence.

# Jacques Derrida

If this work seems so threatening, this is because it isn’t simply eccentric or strange, but competent, rigorously argued, and carrying conviction.

# John Banville

How I envy writers who can work on aeroplanes or in hotel rooms. On the run I can produce an article or a book review, or even a film script, but for fiction I must have my own desk, my own wall with my own postcards pinned to it, and my own window not to look out of.

# Michael Keaton

In the household in which I was raised, the themes were pretty simple. ‘Work hard. Don’t quit. Be appreciative, be thankful, be grateful, be respectful. Also, never whine, never complain. And always, for crying out loud, keep a sense of humor.’

# Raul Ruiz

I’m a doctor; we work in teams. I’m very committed to problem solving.

# John Kani

The exchange rate of the Rand against the dollar, pound or euro makes South Africa an attractive location. The positive side of this is it gives our artists and technicians an opportunity to work.

# Jared Goff

I’m going to focus on myself and continue to get myself better because I have plenty of things I need to work on.

# George W. Romney

Prayer is not a substitute for work. First we have to do all we can ourselves to understand a situation. Then when we ask for help, sometimes it is very evident, sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes we may well be helped by not getting a decision.

# Ann Rule

Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other’s work.

# Winona LaDuke

Mother Earth needs us to keep our covenant. We will do this in courts, we will do this on our radio station, and we will commit to our descendants to work hard to protect this land and water for them. Whether you have feet, wings, fins, or roots, we are all in it together.

# John Cameron

Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.

# Jose Marti

We are free, but not to be evil, not to be indifferent to human suffering, not to profit from the people, from the work created and sustained through their spirit of political association, while refusing to contribute to the political state that we profit from.

# William Hague

There’s only one growth strategy: work hard.

# James McAvoy

I like cooking, but I don’t think I could be a chef. Everyone from the ground up does terrible hours, whether you’ve just walked in off the street and you’ve got no experience, to whether you’re the head chef. You can work 14 or 15-hour days. It’s really, really intense.

# Israel Folau

Mum didn’t have shoes. She was the eldest of 10 kids, and some nights they went without food. That’s why, from a young age, I wanted to work hard and change that cycle, to provide not only for my parents but my siblings, too.

# Leona Lewis

Obviously, a long-distance relationship is hard. But, like anything worth having, you make it work.

# Cate Blanchett

I don’t understand a way to work other than bold-facedly running towards failure.

# David Horowitz

In practice, socialism didn’t work. But socialism could never have worked because it is based on false premises about human psychology and society, and gross ignorance of human economy.

# Alan Furst

I don’t work Sunday any more… The Sabbath is a very reasonable idea. Otherwise, you work yourself to death.

# Linwood Barclay

Once you come up with a premise, you have to work out how it all happened. It’s a bit like coming up with a spectacular roof design first. Before you can get it up there, you need to build a solid foundation and supporting structure.

# Alia Shawkat

I go into work and get my hair and makeup done, go into wardrobe. I have to do three hours of school a day.

# Anthony Martial

I have many aspects of my game I need to improve, and that’s what I am focusing on. I prefer not to say what they are in public – for me, it’s a secret, and I just want to work hard.

# Ronald D. Moore

In television, there’s this weird sense of isolation from your audience; you kind of get this feeling that you write the show for you and your wife and your friends and the other people who work on the show. It’s our little show, and then it goes out into the world, and somebody watches it.

# Boyan Slat

There are already dozens of organizations working on trying to prevent plastic from going into the ocean, through advocacy, education, awareness, all great work, yet nobody was addressing the stock of existing pollution.

# Christine Quinn

I couldn’t be more proud of my work as a progressive.

# Tim Bishop

Inflation outstripped real wages for people who work for pay from others.

# Ryan Kwanten

I make about two movies a year outside the ‘True Blood’ schedule. I work on a great show six months a year, then outside that I get to satisfy whatever creative urges I have. It’s a great position, especially for a single guy like me.
