We won the moon race; now it's time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Channing Tatum | I believe in love. I believe in good stories. I play really hard on the weekends because I like to have those stories. My wife and I go off and do craziness all the time. We're just like, 'What can we go get into this weekend?' Then we have other ones where we just sit and do nothing and then we have work that we do. It's all memories. | 101 |

| Dee Hock | An organization, no matter how well designed, is only as good as the people who live and work in it. | 101 |
| Debbie Harry | I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year. | 101 |

| Frank Auerbach | To put down an ideogram of a table so that people will recognize it as a table is not the work of a painter, but to sense it for a moment as a magic carpet with a leg hanging down at each corner is the beginning of a painter's imagination. | 101 |

| J. Paul Getty | Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil. | 101 |
| John Edwards | There is so much work to be done to treat gays and lesbians and gay and lesbian couples with the respect that they're entitled to. They deserve, in my judgment, partnership benefits. They deserve to be treated fairly when it comes to adoption and immigration. | 101 |
| Johnny Carson | Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined. | 101 |
| Julie Andrews | Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside. | 101 |
| Kevin Rudd | 2009 was a tough year, but Australia rose to the challenge of the global financial crisis. It shows what can be done when we all join together and work together, governments of all persuasions state, territory and local; businesses large and small; unions and local communities right across the nation. | 101 |

| Lindsey Buckingham | When Stevie and I joined the band, we were in the midst of breaking up, as were John and Christine. By the time Rumours was being recorded, things got worse in terms of psychology and drug use. It was a large exercise in denial - in order for me to get work done. | 101 |
| Marc Anthony | If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. | 101 |

| Nick Carter | It's like Forrest Gump said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates.' Your career is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get. But everything you get is going to teach you something along the way and make you the person you are today. That's the exciting part - it's an adventure in itself. | 101 |

| Robert Kiyosaki | Financial freedom is available to those who learn about it and work for it. | 101 |
| Robin S. Sharma | Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers. | 101 |
| Roger Staubach | Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts. | 101 |
| Russel Honore | When you form a team, why do you try to form a team? Because teamwork builds trust and trust builds speed. | 101 |
| Sammy Davis, Jr. | The success of the Rat Pack or the Clan was due to the camaraderie, the three guys who work together and kid each other and love each other. | 101 |
| Scott Walker | I hate big government, but I really hate a government that doesn't work. So when 'they say we either have to raise taxes or cut core services,' it's actually a 'false choice.' | 101 |
| Shel Silverstein | If you want to find out what a writer or a cartoonist really feels, look at his work. That's enough. | 101 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Stanislaw Jerzy Lec | Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art. | 101 |
| Theodore Isaac Rubin | Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best. | 101 |
| Tom Freston | A career path is rarely a path at all. A more interesting life is usual a more crooked, winding path of missteps, luck and vigorous work. It is almost always a clumsy balance between the things you try to make happen and the things that happen to you. | 101 |
| Tom Hodgkinson | What is required as we travel towards full unemployment is not new legislation but a gradual change of mental attitude, a shift in values.

| 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. | 101 |
| Usher | Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you're with an individual who isn't moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain't going to work. | 101 |
| Valentino Garavani | I am happy that thousands of students, young designers and fashion people will be able to see and study my work in every aspect of it. | 101 |

| William Safire | If you re-read your work, you can find on re-reading a great deal of repetition can be avoided by re-reading and editing. | 101 |
| Win Butler | I'm not practising, I don't go to church, but what I got from it was a sense of belonging to something bigger. What I really miss is being forced to be in a community with people that aren't the same as you. Then, you really have to work through the ways that you're different. | 101 |
| Wole Soyinka | Given the scale of trauma caused by the genocide, Rwanda has indicated that however thin the hope of a community can be, a hero always emerges. Although no one can dare claim that it is now a perfect state, and that no more work is needed, Rwanda has risen from the ashes as a model or truth and reconciliation. | 101 |
| Yvonne Strahovski | I feel lucky that I got to work with some of the big legends in town. | 101 |
| Zach Braff | Everyone has an idea that they think would be a great movie. Everyone has a cousin who they think you should work with. | 101 |
| Zakk Wylde | Another Black Label motto. That's what I think life is. It's just another bridge to cross. You ask no questions. Whatever work it is you gotta do, you gotta go over it, under it, through it, around it, to do it. | 101 |
| Abhishek Bachchan | A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessings and be happy. | 101 |
| Alex Rodriguez | Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance. | 101 |
| Alison Sweeney | There are times, like after a long day of work, when the thought of an easy drive-through is enticing. But then I remember how crappy I felt when I ate fast food in the past, and it inspires me to head to the grocery store or my local farmer's market and whip up an easy but healthier option. | 101 |
| Ann Richards | Teaching was the hardest work I had ever done, and it remains the hardest work I have done to date. | 101 |
| Beatrice Wood | And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter. | 101 |
| Bruce Lipton | If we could get your subconscious mind to agree with your conscious mind about being happy, that's when your positive thoughts work. | 101 |
| Buffy Sainte-Marie | Another time factor is output: proofing and printing. That is, getting your work out of the computer and onto paper and having it satisfy you. It can be time consuming and expensive. | 101 |
| Byron Dorgan | Working hard and working smart sometimes can be two different things. | 101 |
| Camille Pissarro | Cover the canvas at the first go, then work at it until you see nothing more to add. | 101 |

| Cristina Saralegui | To realize the American dream, the most important thing to understand is that it belongs to everybody. It's a human dream. If you understand this and work very hard, it is possible. | 101 |
| David Rakoff | Everybody's got something. In the end, what choice does one really have but to understand that truth, to really take it in, and then shop for groceries, get a haircut, do one's work; get on with the business of one's life. That's the hope, anyway. | 101 |
| Dominic Monaghan | I don't need to have three feather pillows in my trailer. I just don't work that way. | 101 |
| Donovan Bailey | Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams. | 101 |
| Drew Brees | I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people's faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work. | 101 |
| Duane Michals | Photographers usually want to photograph facts and things. But I'm interested in the nature of the thing itself. A photograph of someone sleeping tells me nothing about their dream state; a photograph of a corpse tells me nothing about the nature of death. My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient. | 101 |
| Edward Ruscha | My friends and neighbors were always fixing their cars. Soldiers who felt restless wanted to work on something, and they understood cars. Me, I like to look at cars but I was never really a mechanic. | 101 |
| Fred L. Turner | Work hard, use your common sense and don't be afraid to trust your instincts. | 101 |

| Grandma Moses | I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. | 101 |
| James Patterson | Life is hard, and a lot of people come home tired from work. If they're gonna spend half an hour reading, they want some entertainment and a sense of achievement. So that's what I give them. That's all I'm trying to do. Is that really so wrong? | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| John Carmack | Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better. | 101 |
| Josie Loren | God has blessed me with an amazing family, friends and work colleagues that have been my joy, my support, and my sanity. I don't know what I'd do without them. | 101 |
| Kevin Eubanks | Inspiration is one thing and you can't control it, but hard work is what keeps the ship moving. Good luck means, work hard. Keep up the good work. | 101 |
| Lucas Grabeel | The greatest thing about where my life is right now is it's very relaxed and chill. I'm just hanging out, being myself and doing my work. | 101 |
| Lukas Foss | That is why the analogy of stealing does not work. With a thief, we want to know how much money he stole, and from whom. With the artist it is not how much he took and from whom, but what he did with it. | 101 |
| M.I.A. | I don't like the idea of spirituality done the way it's done. The only way I could understand it was through creativity, not by going to an Ashram, or finding a guru or joining a temple. I made work out of it. | 101 |
| Martin Parr | My black-and-white work is more of a celebration, and the color work became more of a critique of society. | 101 |
| Matt Mullenweg | I don't care how someone lives or how good their spoken English is. I do all of my interviews on Skype text chat - all that matters is their work. | 101 |
| Michael Eric Dyson | I think public intellectuals have a responsibility - to be self-critical on the one hand, to do serious, nuanced work rigorously executed; but to also be able to get off those perches and out of those ivory towers and speak to the real people who make decisions; to speak truth to power and the powerless with lucidity and eloquence. | 101 |
| 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.' | 101 |
| Michael Leunig | Avoiding maturity is, for many men, not just a cute hobby, but a life's work - often handsomely rewarded in the infantile popular culture of the West. | 101 |
| Mike Figgis | I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument. | 101 |
| Nate Parker | Identify your niche and dominate it. And when I say dominate, I just mean work harder than anyone else could possibly work at it. | 101 |
| Nigel Mansell | I think life is full of challenges and problems. I don't believe that anyone is perfect. We all make mistakes. It's not a bed of roses, and you have to work real hard at it. | 101 |
| Patricia Richardson | Instead of yelling and spanking, which don't work anyway, I believe in finding creative ways to keep their attention - turning things into a game, for instance. And, when they do something good, positive reinforcement and praise. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Penelope Ann Miller | Luckily because I had a family and children, my priorities changed. I mean, I'm very passionate about my work but I have other interests and other things that balance my life. | 101 |
| Philip Green | It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Penny Pritzker | I tend to be a person who starts with the presumption that I should trust you until you abuse the privilege, and then our relationship is forever changed. That's a very big line, and chances are it's not going to work if it's crossed. I warn people that this is how I'm going to deal with it. | 101 |
| Richard Donner | When you make a film, you like to run it with an audience. They tell you you're narrow-minded or subjective, or that seems too long, or that doesn't work. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Ron Perlman | I think now that I'm in the autumn of my life, and I'm getting a chance of having an overview and looking at the shape of how things happen, when things happen, why things happen, I think it was fitting that I spent most of my early career doing mask work, because I just don't think I was that comfortable in my own skin. | 101 |
| Rudolf Diesel | The automobile engine will come, and then I will consider my life's work complete. | 101 |
| Rose McIver | The great thing about being an actor in a film is that you're able to start knowing exactly where you're going to finish and really paint something in between. You can work to know the arc you need to build. Whereas in television, it is open-ended, and you're constantly guessing. There are pros and cons to both. | 101 |
| Shashi Tharoor | I returned to India because I believe in an India of honesty and hard work, not of corruption and crookedness. I believe in an India of openness and straightforwardness, not of hypocrisy and double-dealing. I believe in an India where opportunities are available to all, and not just to a chosen few. | 101 |
| Sonam Kapoor | 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. | 101 |
| Summer Sanders | To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge. | 101 |
| Tahar Ben Jelloun | My hope is that countries like Morocco will have investment to create work, so people don't have to leave. | 101 |
| Tena Desae | Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Tracey Ullman | As you get older, you realize it's work. It's that fine line between love and companionship. But passionate love? I'd love to know how to make that last. | 101 |
| Teri Hatcher | I am blessed to be able to work at a job I love and also give back in the most vital way - to people in need. | 101 |
| Adolf Loos | The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not. | 101 |
| Arthur Laffer | What I'm not saying is that all government spending is bad. It's not - far, far from it, but there is no free lunch, as a former colleague of mine used to say. There is no public tooth fairy. Father Christmas does not work on the Treasury staff this year. You can never bail someone out of trouble without putting someone else into trouble. | 101 |
| Bernard Hinault | I believe there are two periods in life, one for the bike, the other for becoming active on one's work. | 101 |
| Bram Cohen | In terms of work I've always had a Bad Attitude in that I won't work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don't know if that's an Asperger's thing or not, I think it's just being reasonable. | 101 |
| Bruno Tonioli | Once I moved to London I thought it was unbeatable. I work a lot in L.A. and love it, but would never give up London. It's a true world city, with an energy that's unique. | 101 |
| Caspar David Friedrich | Close your bodily eye, that you may see your picture first with the eye of the spirit. Then bring to light what you have seen in the darkness, that its effect may work back, from without to within. | 101 |
| Chris Matthews | I mean, if somebody said to me, junior year of college, you can go anywhere, your old man's paying for it, I'd have been gone in a flash. But I had to work. Every summer my mother would say, 'Get that job and hold on to it until August 30.' | 101 |
| Clive Sinclair | It would be a big mistake to think that Chekhov was a natural, that he did not have to work for his effects and singular style. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Delta Burke | And I have to work so hard at talking positively to myself. If I don't, it's just real hard to get through the day, and I'll get really down, and just want to cry. My whole body language changes. I get more slumped over. | 101 |
| Don Cheadle | I understand what's it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something. | 101 |
| Duff Goldman | The great thing about cake is it doesn't feel like work. You forget about work. Kids, adults, they all get the same look in their eye when they're decorating cakes... That's the magic right there. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| 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. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure. | 101 |
| George Allen, Sr. | Work hard, stay positive, and get up early. It's the best part of the day. | 101 |
| George Halas | Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work. | 101 |
| Greta Scacchi | A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment. | 101 |
| H. L. Hunt | Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work. | 101 |
| Heinrich Boll | Between 1950 and 1951, I worked as a temporary employee in the Cologne Bureau of Statistics. From summer 1951 on, I have lived as a freelance writer with a fixed postal address in Cologne but with a continually shifting place of work. | 101 |
| Helena Rubinstein | Hard work keeps the wrinkles out of the mind and spirit. | 101 |
| J. J. Abrams | When you work on something that combines both the spectacular and the relatable, the hyperreal and the real, it suddenly can become supernatural. The hypothetical and the theoretical can become literal. | 101 |
| Jan Egeland | Finally, I also come in recognition of the great work that has been undertaken by the NGOs and UN agencies that have been active for many years here, especially through the local staff and international staff here in Somaliland and in Somalia at large. | 101 |
| Jeff Koons | I think about my work every minute of the day. | 101 |
| John Coltrane | I think I was first awakened to musical exploration by Dizzy Gillespie and Bird. It was through their work that I began to learn about musical structures and the more theoretical aspects of music. | 101 |
| John Krasinski | Most of the people I know who work out seriously do so because they have such an amazing outlook on life. To be who I want to be, I'm going to work out to be more positive, more active. It's proactive. | 101 |
| Kathy Reichs | If you want to be an anthropologist, you need to study physical anthropology specialized in bones. If you want to be a forensic chemist, get a degree in chemistry. Do you want to do DNA work? Get a degree in microbiology. And do well. Study hard and go to graduate school. | 101 |
| Linda Fiorentino | In the end it's about the work, not an award you get for the work. | 101 |
| Maria Callas | I don't need the money, dear. I work for art. | 101 |
| Mario J. Molina | Climate change and ozone depletion are two global issues that are different but have many connections. In the ozone depletion case, we managed to work with decision makers effectively so that an international agreement called the Montreal Protocol was achieved that essentially solved the ozone depletion problem. | 101 |
| Maurice Ravel | We should always remember that sensitiveness and emotion constitute the real content of a work of art. | 101 |
| Melissa Bean | Married couples who work together to build and maintain a business assume broad responsibilities. Not only is their work important to our local and national economies, but their success is central to the well-being of their families. | 101 |
| Mike Honda | It's amazing to me that, in the 42 years since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, women today still receive fewer wages than men for the same work. | 101 |
| Nadia Boulanger | A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty. | 101 |
| Nancy Greene | I think what it takes to succeed remains the same. You have to have a real love of your sport to carry you through all the bad times, you still want to go ski even when things aren't working. You must have a commitment to work hard and to never give up. | 101 |
| Pauline Marois | Sovereignty was not an issue in this campaign. The sovereignty numbers that were there before the campaign are still there. Sovereignty is as alive as it was. But there is work to do to convince Quebecers. | 101 |
| Richard Lugar | There are no shortcuts to victory. We must commit ourselves to the slow, painstaking work of foreign policy day by day and year by year. | 101 |
| Ron Livingston | It can be liberating to get fired because you realize the world doesn't end. There's other ways to make money, better jobs. | 101 |
| Susan Rice | For the United States to recommit itself to the obligation that we undertook in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that many other states undertook, which was to work towards disarmament and the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons, is something that manifestly serves our national security interests. | 101 |
| Tony Shalhoub | I come from a really big family, my father was a businessman and what he always instilled in us was to be your own boss. My father built up his business, and he was by no means a rich man, but he figured out how to work four-and-a-half days a week. | 101 |
| William J. Mayo | Given one well-trained physician of the highest type he will do better work for a thousand people than ten specialists. | 101 |
| William Merritt Chase | Association with my pupils has kept me young in my work. Criticism of their work has kept my own point of view clear. | 101 |
| Anthony Rizzo | I will respect the limits of my experience but that won't stop me from trying to lead by example of my work. Being a good teammate and picking them up on and off the field is a simple goal of mine. | 101 |
| Candace Parker | Today I know that there is still work to be done, but along the way my I am achieving my dreams. | 101 |
| Carol P. Christ | Throughout the years, many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work, perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants. | 101 |
| Chaka Khan | To me, this degree was an acknowledgment of my work in music. | 101 |
| Corrine Brown | States get to improve transportation infrastructure; that creates economic development, puts people back to work and, most important, enhances safety and improves local communities. | 101 |
| Daniel Greenberg | Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts, some are craftsmen, some take a little time out to travel, and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do. | 101 |
| Harry Golden | The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work. | 101 |
| Hugh Newell Jacobsen | It is our art that has an opportunity to leave a footprint in the sand. They don't wrap fish in our work. | 101 |
| James Lafferty | My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else, practice makes perfect. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Lily Donaldson | I don't wear lipstick when I'm not at work. | 101 |
| Luis von Ahn | I watch a lot of TV. That's how I spend most of my time outside of work. If I had more time, I would fill it 100 percent with watching TV. | 101 |
| Marty Meehan | Black History Month must be more than just a month of remembrance; it should be a tribute to our history and reminder of the work that lies in the months and years ahead. | 101 |
| Maxine Hong Kingston | The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods. | 101 |
| Paddy Chayefsky | Artists don't talk about art. Artists talk about work. If I have anything to say to young writers, it's stop thinking of writing as art. Think of it as work. | 101 |
| Randy West | Yet as a team, we can pull together to do some incredible work. | 101 |
| Robert Taft | The only method by which people can be supported is out of the effort of those who are earning their own way. We must not create a deterrent to hard work. | 101 |
| Sam Ewing | Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. | 101 |
| Sasha Cohen | Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle. | 101 |
| Sharon Olds | At one point I took on a new job, and I just didn't have time to do anything but work. | 101 |
| Solomon Burke | The secret was to just be cool, stay in God's graces, and work it out. | 101 |
| Stanislas Wawrinka | As a tennis player, you have to get used to losing every week. Unless you win the tournament, you always go home as a loser. But you have to take the positive out of a defeat and go back to work. Improve to fail better. | 101 |
| Steve Forbert | I'm self-deprecating, but I'm an artist, too. I have to write new songs to chronicle stuff for myself. I write a song like 'Middle Age' or 'Responsibility' or 'I Just Work Here,' and it's about how bleak life can be. But it's real. | 101 |
| Tom Cochrane | Very often out of adversity that's when the best work comes. | 101 |
| Tom Welling | The idea of a perfect vacation is not working or not having to work and having no appointments. | 101 |
| Bailey Chase | I was growing up with a single mom who'd be at work when I came home from school. So I'd just turn on the TV. I grew up watching old Clint Eastwood westerns. I adopted him as one of my male role models. | 101 |
| Caroline Winberg | I think it's important to always keep professional and surround yourself with good people, work hard, and be nice to everyone. | 101 |
| Christa B. Allen | Sometimes work is a bit slow, and I always wanted to be a princess at Disneyland. There were 1,500 of us who auditioned, and 11 of us were hired. I went through all of the training, but never ended up actually getting to play Belle because 'Revenge' started. It was the time of my life, though! | 101 |
| Clive Bell | We all agree now - by 'we' I mean intelligent people under sixty - that a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. | 101 |
| David Leslie | It will be hard work. It's always hard work, and hard work from everybody within the team - technical director, mechanics, drivers, engineers - everyone in the team. | 101 |
| David Sarnoff | Work and live to serve others, to leave the world a little better than you found it and garner for yourself as much peace of mind as you can. This is happiness. | 101 |
| David Heyman | I think it's great to see how they've grown up, not just as actors but as people. They're still very much the same kids that I met many years ago. They've grown up and they are funny and wicked and naughty and bright, and I think as actors their work is just getting better and better. They've blossomed. | 101 |
| George Jessel | The human brain is a wonderful organ. It starts to work as soon as you are born and doesn't stop until you get up to deliver a speech. | 101 |
| Jennifer Connelly | If you get too attached to how you want it to come out the other side, you freeze. I try to trust that it will work out in the end. | 101 |
| Jim Evans | I learned a valuable life lesson that summer. You should find something in life that you really enjoy and seriously consider making that your life's work. | 101 |
| Jon Porter | Many students graduate from college and professional schools, including those of social work, nursing, medicine, teaching and law, with crushing debt burdens. | 101 |
| Julie Bowen | I'm so not stylish by nature, but I've learned to work with what I have. | 101 |
| Louise Bogan | Your work is carved out of agony as a statue is carved out of marble. | 101 |
| Maria Bartiromo | I think that my biggest attribute to any success that I have had is hard work. There really is no substitute for working hard. | 101 |
| Mark Bittman | The current health crisis, however, is a little more the work of the evil empire. We were told, we were assured, that the more meat and dairy and poultry we ate, the healthier we'd be. | 101 |
| Mustafa Kemal Ataturk | I will lead my people by the hand along the road until their feet are sure and they know the way. Then they may choose for themselves and rule themselves. Then my work will be done. | 101 |
| Ram Kapoor | When you do good work, people will notice you. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Rose Schneiderman | Of course, we knew that this meant an attack on the union. The bosses intended gradually to get rid of us, employing in our place child labor and raw immigrant girls who would work for next to nothing. | 101 |
| Thomas Shadwell | Every man loves what he is good at. | 101 |
| Amanda Crew | Life is too short to be doing work that doesn't make you feel happy and fulfilled. I'd rather wait for the right project, as opposed to just taking whatever is handed to me. | 101 |
| Anna Benson | But marriage goes in waves. You've got to be patient. People bail and give up on their marriages way too early. They just don't put the work and the effort into it. You've got to suck up your ego a lot of times, because that can be a big downfall. | 101 |
| Crystal Eastman | Until women learn to want economic independence, and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood, it seems to me feminism has no roots. | 101 |
| Daniel J. Bernstein | The most important function of a bibliographic entry is to help the reader obtain a copy of the cited work. | 101 |
| Dean Stockwell | So I'm going to go on and work on preserving the ozone layer, encouraging everyone to recycle. | 101 |
| Diana Lopez | I am very proud of my mom and consider her the most courageous woman I know. With perseverance, sacrifice and hard work, she raised a family of Olympic athletes and gave us the tools and the spirit to succeed. That is something that my brothers and I will always be thankful for. | 101 |
| Eleanor Robson Belmont | Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work, or friendship - two of life's major assets. | 101 |
| Jay Kay | I'm in this absolutely gorgeous manor house with acres of quite beautiful countryside. I've got trout in the river, an organic vegetable garden, I've got my work 40 yards from my home. I don't mind being criticised, but where are they criticising from? Which hut are they criticising me from, exactly? | 101 |
| John Frankenheimer | There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn't enough money in the world. | 101 |
| Maksim Chmerkovskiy | I spent my entire childhood with my father. I started my first business at 16, and we became business partners. He's not just a mentor and somebody that I look up to, but he's also someone whom I took work ethic and determination and all of those qualities from. | 101 |
| Max Frisch | I live, like every real man, in my work. | 101 |
| Roger von Oech | Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach. | 101 |
| Richard Foster | Leadership is an act of submission to God. To be a leader means listening to all kinds of people and situations. Out of that listening, we are hoping to discern the mind of God as best we can. This is the price of leadership - it's an act of sacrifice. So leadership is part and parcel of the work of submission to God. | 101 |
| Steve Wilkos | I'm a big believer in personal responsibility. My life wasn't always peaches and roses. Where I am today is through a belief in hard work and never saying no. | 101 |
| Susan Bysiewicz | We have a great location between Boston and New York, a highly educated work force, and Connecticut is a beautiful place to live. | 101 |
| Adam Hochschild | Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short. | 101 |
| Alexander Alekhine | I have had to work long and hard to eradicate the dangerous delusion that, in a bad position, I could always, or nearly always, conjure up some unexpected combination to extricate me from my difficulties. | 101 |
| Ann Rule | Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work. | 101 |
| Anna Garlin Spencer | Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations. | 101 |
| AnnaSophia Robb | When I'm at home or at school, I'm casual and comfortable. I tend to wear work out clothes and lots of sweaters. | 101 |
| Charles Erwin Wilson | A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could. | 101 |
| Jahangir Khan | Without hard work and discipline it is difficult to be a top professional. | 101 |
| James H. Douglas, Jr. | Our deep respect for the land and its harvest is the legacy of generations of farmers who put food on our tables, preserved our landscape, and inspired us with a powerful work ethic. | 101 |
| Jerome Bruner | The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion - these are the most valuable coins of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness. | 101 |
| M. F. Husain | I kept on trying to use so many media and ideas in my work because our horizon is so vast and Indian culture is so rich that I think what we are today, culturally, we have a unique position and I don't think one lifetime is enough to encompass it. | 101 |
| Ranulph Fiennes | No one will pay you for planning an expedition at first: you have to work in pubs at weekends so you can pay the gas bills. I joined the Territorial Army, which paid me when I turned up to drill nights, and so did my wife. | 101 |
| Allan Ray | My off-the-field heroes, the people who gave me the values to live by and who inspired me with their hard work and unselfish dedication to their family, were my mom, Catherine, and my dad, William. | 101 |
| Anne Burrell | Organizing ahead of time makes the work more enjoyable. Chefs cut up the onions and have the ingredients lined up ahead of time and have them ready to go. When everything is organized you can clean as you go and it makes everything so much easier and fun. | 101 |
| Avery Brundage | As soon as you take money for playing sport, it isn't sport, it's work. | 101 |
| Jay Chiat | The team architecture means setting up an organization that helps people produce that great work in teams. | 101 |
| Julie Benz | You really have to work hard and apply yourself and by applying yourself and working hard and being diligent, you can achieve success. | 101 |
| 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. | 101 |
| Matt Ryan | 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. | 101 |
| Michael Diamond | Success for an athlete follows many years of hard work and dedication. | 101 |
| Robert Morris | So many of the sounds that contemporary composers were trying to create were to be found in the traditional musics of the world. That was encouraging but also little daunting to think that you had to work so hard to be new and yet it was old. | 101 |
| 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 artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn't look for harmony but would simply live in it. | 101 |
| Jeffrey Donovan | Believe it or not, I don't own a TV. Crazy huh? I'm not a big movie-goer either. I just feel like I'm watching work. I am always outside and couldn't care less about what's on TV these days. | 101 |
| Jessie Pavelka | I tell my clients to feel powerful - you and only you own your power. You are the one who can make yourself eat right, work out and not touch the biscuits. | 101 |
| Max Bill | Even in modern art, artists have used methods based on calculation, inasmuch as these elements, alongside those of a more personal and emotional nature, give balance and harmony to any work of art. | 101 |
| Meher Baba | What I want from my Lovers is real unadulterated love, and from my genuine workers I expect real work done. | 101 |
| Jack O'Connell | I want to create a body of work that is entertaining and speaks to people for a long time. Longer than my life span. | 101 |
| James Lee Burke | Every rejection is incremental payment on your dues that in some way will be translated back into your work. | 101 |
| Jerry Leiber | 'Hound Dog' took like twelve minutes. That's not a complicated piece of work. But the rhyme scheme was difficult. Also the metric structure of the music was not easy. 'Kansas City' was maybe eight minutes, if that. Writing the early blues was spontaneous. You can hear the energy in the work. | 101 |
| John Garamendi | Mother Nature comes up against reality, and the reality is that the system doesn't work. | 101 |
| Jerome Lawrence | It's always such a joy that you wake up in the morning and there's work to do. | 101 |
| Joan Lunden | A positive attitude is something everyone can work on, and everyone can learn how to employ it. | 101 |
| Joshua Waitzkin | The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity. | 101 |
| Joe Hill | Work and pray, live on hay, you'll get pie in the sky when you die. | 101 |
| 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. | 102 |
| Colin Powell | Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| Nigel Farage | It's about mass immigration at a time when 21% of young people can't find work. It's about giving £50 million a day to the EU when the public finances are under great strain. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| Richard Branson | The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world. | 102 |
| Robert Kennedy | 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. | 102 |
| Vince Lombardi | The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| A. A. Milne | Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up. | 102 |
| John Lydon | As a human being, I'm work in process. | 102 |
| Marie Curie | You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. | 102 |
| Morgan Freeman | It's what I learn from the great actors that I work with. Stillness. That's all and that's the hardest thing. | 102 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it. | 102 |
| William Osler | The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today's work superbly well. | 102 |
| Adlai E. Stevenson | We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil, all committed, for our safety, to its security and peace. Preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work and the love we give our fragile craft. | 102 |
| Adriana Lima | I love going to work out now. It gets out aggression and my trainer really shakes it up so I don't get bored. | 102 |
| Alvar Aalto | We should concentrate our work not only to a separated housing problem but housing involved in our daily work and all the other functions of the city. | 102 |
| Alvin Ailey | I am trying to show the world that we are all human beings and that color is not important. What is important is the quality of our work. | 102 |
| Ann Landers | Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. | 102 |
| Ben Stiller | I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener. | 102 |
| Brad Henry | Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish. | 102 |
| Cara Delevingne | When you have balance in your life, work becomes an entirely different experience. There is a passion that moves you to a whole new level of fulfillment and gratitude, and that's when you can do your best... for yourself and for others. | 102 |
| Caroline Kennedy | It's true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life, you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul. | 102 |
| Chris Pine | I feel prematurely old. I'm actually having this major belated quarter-life crisis. I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking a lot about mortality. A lot about what I'm going to do with my life and how to enjoy it. One of the things I'm going to work on is being more spontaneous, letting go, embracing the beauty of come-what-may. | 102 |
| Clayton Christensen | Many of the factors that we think will cause motivation, such as fair pay and a good manager, won't make you love your job. Even if you eliminate what makes you dissatisfied, that doesn't make you motivated. It doesn't make your work rewarding. You just are less bothered by things. | 102 |
| David Mamet | I know very well what it is to be out of work and to be cheated by employers and I know what it is to be an employer. | 102 |
| Earl Nightingale | We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile. | 102 |
| Emily Bronte | A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone. | 102 |
| Erin Heatherton | If you work hard and you do your best, you can do anything. | 102 |
| Florence Scovel Shinn | Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement. | 102 |
| Frank Press | My attitude toward graduate students was different, I must say. I used graduate students as colleagues: I gave them the best problems to work on, and I encouraged them. | 102 |
| George Whitefield | We are immortal until our work on earth is done. | 102 |
| Henry B. Eyring | The Lord protects, guides, and watches over those who are His trusted friends in His work. His work and that of His Father and our Father is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of the children of God. And Satan, the enemy of our happiness, opposes those who serve the Lord. | 102 |
| Henry J. Kaiser | When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt. | 102 |
| Hesiod | Work is no disgrace: it is idleness which is a disgrace. | 102 |
| Hill Harper | All work and no play make any forensic pathologist a dull boy. | 102 |
| Ibrahim Babangida | The work of Nigeria is not complete for as long as there is any one Nigerian who goes to bed on empty stomach. | 102 |
| Ismail Haniyeh | Doesn't the world see the suffering of millions of Palestinians who have been living in exile around the world or in refugee camps for the past 60 years? No state, no home, no identity, no right to work. Doesn't the world see this injustice? | 102 |
| Jackson Pollock | On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting. | 102 |
| James Franco | If the work is good, what does it matter? I'm doing it because I love it. Why not do as many things I love as I can? As long as the work is good. | 102 |
| Joel Salatin | A pig has a plow on the end of its nose because it does meaningful work with it. It is built to dig and create soil disturbance, something it can't do in a concentrated feeding environment. The omnivore has historically been a salvage operation for food scraps around the homestead. | 102 |
| John Kenneth Galbraith | Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists. | 102 |
| Karl Malone | You work for whatever you get in life. | 102 |
| Kate Middleton | I think I know I've been working very hard for the family business, sometimes those days are long days and I think if I know I'm working hard and pulling my weight, both working and playing hard at the same time, I think everyone who I work with can see I am there pulling my weight. | 102 |
| Kiana Tom | When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence, hard work and hiring good people. | 102 |
| Kim Cattrall | I have a very healthy dose of self-loathing. But I think we all have a past of being whatever our story was, of feeling not good enough. It can propel you to work harder and do more, but it can also be a tremendous trap, and you can't see beyond it. | 102 |
| Laura Schlessinger | Well, the truth is that a lot of people lie about their health, they lie about the finances, they lie about things at work, they lie about things. | 102 |
| Louis L'Amour | To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain. | 102 |
| Madonna Ciccone | If I can't be daring in my work or the way I live my life, then I don't really see the point of being on this planet. | 102 |
| Marlo Thomas | In my work, there's a tremendous amount of rejection and waves of fertile and fallow times. | 102 |
| Mindy Kaling | I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies, and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because, in general, they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan! | 102 |
| Patti Smith | I would rather write or record something great and have it overlooked than do mediocre work and have it be popular. | 102 |
| Pearl S. Buck | The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. | 102 |
| Peter Ustinov | If Botticelli were alive today he'd be working for Vogue. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| Pope Paul VI | All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today. | 102 |
| Reese Witherspoon | Many people worry so much about managing their careers, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their LIVES. I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out. | 102 |
| Richard Pryor | You work your butt off and somebody says you can't have your record played because it offends them. Tyrants are made of such stuff. | 102 |
| Robin S. Sharma | Hard work opens doors and shows the world that you are serious about being one of those rare - and special - human beings who use the fullness of their talents to do their very best. | 102 |
| Roger Moore | Over the next two years UNICEF will focus on improving access to and the quality of education to provide children who have dropped out of school or who work during school hours the opportunity to gain a formal education! | 102 |
| Sholom Aleichem | A bachelor is a man who comes to work each morning from a different direction. | 102 |
| Sidney Poitier | I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values. | 102 |
| Sophia Bush | To be happy, it first takes being comfortable being in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there. | 102 |
| Temple Grandin | A treatment method or an educational method that will work for one child may not work for another child. The one common denominator for all of the young children is that early intervention does work, and it seems to improve the prognosis. | 102 |
| Tim O'Reilly | My original business model - I actually wrote this down - was 'interesting work for interesting people.' | 102 |
| Tom Selleck | I guess after Dances With Wolves they probably tried some derivative westerns, and if they didn't work, they said the western is dead and moved on to something else. | 102 |
| Twyla Tharp | To survive, you've got to keep wheedling your way. You can't just sit there and fight against odds when it's not going to work. You have to turn a corner, dig a hole, go through a tunnel - and find a way to keep moving. | 102 |
| Vanessa Williams | I think there's a time to work, and everyone has to kind of adjust. And then there's a time to relax, and be the mom or take the kids on vacation when you need to wind down. So it's a matter of planning, and being able to map out your year or your week or let's start with the day. It is just being multi-tasking and being available. | 102 |
| Warren Farrell | Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable. Disposable in war; disposable in work. We need warriors and volunteer firefighters, so we label these men heroes. | 102 |
| Wes Anderson | I have always wanted to work in the theater. I've always felt the glamour of being backstage and that excitement, but I've never actually done it - not since I was in 5th grade, really. But I've had many plays in my films. I feel like maybe theater is a part of my movie work. | 102 |
| William Bernbach | Properly practiced creativity can make one ad do the work of ten. | 102 |
| William Gibson | Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description, as science writers, but there are bad dreams as well as good dreams. We're dreamers, you see, but we're also realists, of a sort. | 102 |
| Yukihiro Matsumoto | I didn't work hard to make Ruby perfect for everyone, because you feel differently from me. No language can be perfect for everyone. I tried to make Ruby perfect for me, but maybe it's not perfect for you. The perfect language for Guido van Rossum is probably Python. | 102 |
| Zinedine Zidane | I'm very inspired by him-it was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up. | 102 |
| Amy Adams | I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl. | 102 |
| Antony Gormley | I'm trying to make work that is reflective and is encouraging of reflection. | 102 |
| Bill Owens | True leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best, doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well. | 102 |
| Boy George | A lot of people felt I was getting work because I was Boy George. My response at the time was that there's a lot of DJs making records, they're not all making good records, but they have the right to do that. | 102 |
| Bradley Cooper | There's got to be something you want to tell and that's the engine which spurs all of the work you have to do in order to create the story, but you have to love some sort of nugget of what you're telling to be a filmmaker. | 102 |
| C. Northcote Parkinson | Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. | 102 |
| Chelsea Clinton | I hope telling stories though 'Making a Difference' - as in my academic work and nonprofit work - will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.' | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| Christo | It is not only one person's work, it's really a partnership and collaboration during all these years. | 102 |
| Cindy Sherman | Inconsiderate, rude behavior drives me nuts. And I guess the inconsiderate rudeness of social ineptitude definitely fuels my work. | 102 |
| David O. McKay | Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success! | 102 |
| Donald Judd | I recognize very much in Hopper that it does look like the United States; it looks like the 30's and my first impressions of everything, all of which I have to deal with and which gets mixed up in my work and probably gets mixed up in everybody else's work too. | 102 |
| Edgar Winter | I can't imagine anything more worthwhile than doing what I most love. And they pay me for it. | 102 |
| Frederick W. Smith | A manager is not a person who can do the work better than his men; he is a person who can get his men to do the work better than he can. | 102 |
| Gillian Anderson | 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. | 102 |
| Gustave Moreau | No one could have less faith in the absolute and definitive importance of the work created by man, because I believe that this world is nothing but a dream. | 102 |
| Hoda Kotb | 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. | 102 |
| J. Michael Straczynski | The problem with writing a monthly book is that you're going through your work like a man running for a bus, red-faced and out of breath. There isn't time for reflection or critical self-examination. | 102 |
| James Surowiecki | Linux is a complex example of the wisdom of crowds. It's a good example in the sense that it shows you can set people to work in a decentralized way - that is, without anyone really directing their efforts in a particular direction - and still trust that they're going to come up with good answers. | 102 |
| Jeanne Moreau | When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art. | 102 |
| Jeb Bush | Florida has its own rhythm, too. People go to work, they watch their children learn and grow and start families of their own. They play in the sun and pass their lives enjoying the outsized blessings that make our state unique. | 102 |
| Jessamyn West | The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future. | 102 |
| Julia Cameron | What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us. | 102 |
| Junot Diaz | Colleagues are a wonderful thing - but mentors, that's where the real work gets done. | 102 |
| Kevin Kelly | We are infected by our own misunderstanding of how our own minds work. | 102 |
| Manfred von Richthofen | I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible. | 102 |
| Mark Messier | My jersey hanging from the ceiling is going to be a symbol of the hard work of the people I played with. | 102 |
| Michele Bachmann | All of the problems we're facing with debt are manmade problems. We created them. It's called fantasy economics. Fantasy economics only works in a fantasy world. It doesn't work in reality. | 102 |
| Natalie du Toit | You have to work hard for what you want to achieve and you have to set goals and dreams and really go for them. | 102 |
| Sheena Easton | I would make tea for Joni Mitchell or clean her car, anything to be in the studio and watch her work. | 102 |
| Sheryl Swoopes | I always believe someone somewhere is working harder than me and that motivates me to work harder, give 100%. | 102 |
| Steve Albini | Find people who think like you and stick with them. Make only music you are passionate about. Work only with people you like and trust. Don't sign anything. | 102 |
| Sue Wicks | You shouldn't just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| Tryon Edwards | One of the great lessons the fall of the leaf teaches, is this: do your work well and then be ready to depart when God shall call. | 102 |
| Alice Munro | In my own work, I tend to cover a lot of time and to jump back and forward in time, and sometimes the way I do this is not very straightforward. | 102 |
| Bob Ehrlich | We discussed politics, but we also talked about the importance of hard work, personal responsibility, living within your means, keeping your word. Those lessons stay with you throughout your life. | 102 |
| Chloe Grace Moretz | I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference. | 102 |
| Dan O'Brien | The decathlon includes ten separate events and they all matter. You can't work on just one of them. | 102 |
| Eliot Ness | Unquestionably, it was going to be highly dangerous. Yet I felt it was quite natural to jump at the task. After all, if you don't like action and excitement, you don't go into police work. And, what the hell, I figured, nobody lives forever! | 102 |
| Emmy Rossum | It's the best feeling when you wake up and it's warm and cozy, and you don't have to go to work. | 102 |
| Glenn Frey | I've read somewhere that when you're writing, you should stop while you're doing well so you always want to go back to work. | 102 |
| Jonas Salk | The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more. | 102 |
| Julian Lennon | Like most photographers, I try to capture a moment in my work. | 102 |
| Kristen Johnston | If you love it, and work really hard at it, it will really happen, I believe. I'm living proof. | 102 |
| Lisa Leslie | Everyone talks about age, but it's not about age. It's about work ethic. Winning never gets old. | 102 |
| Mary Ellen Mark | Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society. | 102 |
| Maxim Gorky | When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery. | 102 |
| Mike Todd | Beaver do better work than the Corps of Engineers. | 102 |
| 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. | 102 |
| Richard Nelson Bolles | I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there, you can deal with that change. | 102 |
| Robert Smithson | A work of art when placed in a gallery loses its charge, and becomes a portable object or surface disengaged from the outside world. | 102 |
| Ronald Fisher | The tendency of modern scientific teaching is to neglect the great books, to lay far too much stress upon relatively unimportant modern work, and to present masses of detail of doubtful truth and questionable weight in such a way as to obscure principles. | 102 |
| Arthur Keith | Whichever theory we adopt to give a rational explanation of human existence, that theory must take into account and explain the mental nature we see at work in all modern communities. | 102 |
| Chaka Khan | You know, it's just tough to get together and do work with somebody. | 102 |
| James Whistler | Work alone will efface the footsteps of work. | 102 |
| Sarah Chalke | We have such a good time working together. It makes such a difference going to work every day for 14 hours and being able to hang out and have a good time. | 102 |
| Sherilyn Fenn | There is something at work that's bigger than us. It's about having a trust in life and being at peace that things are happening the way they should. You do what you do as well as you can do it, and then you don't worry or agonize about the outcome. | 102 |
| Thomas Bulfinch | Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education. | 102 |
| Tom Welling | I have so much chaos in my life, it's become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong. | 102 |
| Ahmed Chalabi | The issue of terrorism must be dealt with firmly. We must work very hard to avoid loss of life. We must work very hard to avoid civilian casualties. And those terrorists and Baathists are holding the people of Fallujah hostage. We must release the hostages. | 102 |
| David Seabury | Nature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow. | 102 |
| Lawrence Clark Powell | We are the children of a technological age. We have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them, however, has not changed. | 102 |
| Louis Agassiz | The glacier was God's great plough set at work ages ago to grind, furrow, and knead over, as it were, the surface of the earth. | 102 |
| Stefan Zweig | Never can the innate power of a work be hidden or locked away. A work of art can be forgotten by time; it can be forbidden and rejected but the elemental will always prevail over the ephemeral. | 102 |
| Jam Master Jay | Believing in something and being a part of something you believe in and watching it work and coming from it. | 102 |
| Alexander Woollcott | I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work. Of course it doesn't work. We are supposed to work it. | 102 |
| James H. Douglas, Jr. | A good job is more than just a paycheck. A good job fosters independence and discipline, and contributes to the health of the community. A good job is a means to provide for the health and welfare of your family, to own a home, and save for retirement. | 102 |
| John Howe | I have a website because it's an interesting tool, very - and quite unexpectedly - useful for my work. It's become an archive and a fairly complete on-line portfolio, as well as offering an opportunity to write a little. | 102 |
| Colin Powell | There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. | 103 |
| Conor McGregor | It's good to make your brain work more than your body. | 103 |
| Dale Carnegie | Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment. | 103 |
| Nikola Tesla | 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. | 103 |
| Saint Augustine | Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you. | 103 |
| 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. | 103 |
| Simone de Beauvoir | Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth. | 103 |
| Thomas A. Edison | There is no substitute for hard work. | 103 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Education must not simply teach work - it must teach Life. | 103 |
| Bear Grylls | My work is all about adventure and teamwork in some of the most inhospitable jungles, mountains and deserts on the planet. If you aren't able to look after yourself and each other, then people die. | 103 |
| David Icke | A friend at school was always being laughed at because his father emptied dustbins for a living. But those who laughed worshipped famous footballers. This is an example of our topsy-turvy view of 'success.' Who would we miss most if they did not work for a month, the footballer or the garbage collector? | 103 |
| Johnny Cash | The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I've got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer. | 103 |
| Johnny Depp | I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it's going to work or whether I'm going to fall flat on my face. | 103 |
| Stephen King | Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. | 103 |
| Tennessee Williams | We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress. | 103 |
| Wayne Gretzky | The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it. | 103 |
| Zig Ziglar | Research indicates that employees have three prime needs: Interesting work, recognition for doing a good job, and being let in on things that are going on in the company. | 103 |
| Alexander Graham Bell | Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus. | 103 |
| Andre Agassi | Nothing can substitute for just plain hard work. I had to put in the time to get back. And it was a grind. It meant training and sweating every day. But I was completely committed to working out to prove to myself that I still could do it. | 103 |
| Barbara Kruger | Look, we're all saddled with things that make us better or worse. This world is a crazy place, and I've chosen to make my work about that insanity. | 103 |
| Benedict Cumberbatch | One of the fears of having too much work is not having time to observe. And once you get recognised, there is nowhere for you to look any more. You can't sit on a night bus and watch it all happen. | 103 |
| Bobby Flay | Don't underestimate the importance of having enough room to work. Grilling is much more relaxing when you are not trying to juggle a whole collection of plates and bowls as you do it. If your grill doesn't have enough workspace - and they almost never do - set up a table right next to your grill. | 103 |
| Carlos Castaneda | We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. | 103 |
| Chris Pine | I cry all the time - at work, at the shrink's, with my lady. 'The Notebook' killed me. 'Up' destroyed me. | 103 |
| Clare Boothe Luce | In the final analysis there is no other solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decision, the day's generous utterances, and the day's good deed. | 103 |
| Constantin Brancusi | Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave. | 103 |
| Dee Hock | If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates', then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny. | 103 |
| Demi Lovato | Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it's something that it doesn't get a day off. | 103 |
| Dorothy Height | We've got to work to save our children and do it with full respect for the fact that if we do not, no one else is going to do it. | 103 |
| Drew Carey | That's the great thing about having your friends around you. I've known these guys forever. I really enjoy their company just as people. You couldn't ask for a better work environment. | 103 |
| Eddie Van Halen | Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool. | 103 |
| Elizabeth I | The end crowneth the work. | 103 |
| Emo Philips | When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me. | 103 |
| Ethel Waters | Asking what I considered an impossible salary when I didn't want to work for someone has boosted my pay again and again. | 103 |
| Florence Scovel Shinn | No man is a success in business unless he loves his work. | 103 |
| Frank Gehry | For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it. | 103 |
| Franka Potente | I don't really care where I work, actually, because you know making a movie is like living in movie world. There's such a secluded world, and the director is the king ruling the country, and everybody's building this little town to speak in symbolism. | 103 |
| Gael Garcia Bernal | In English, I'm a little bit limited. I speak English as a second language, and that's a little limitation that I have to work around and I have to use it to my favor. So, yes, that's why I end up wanting to do more things in Latin America. | 103 |
| James Allen | Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results. | 103 |
| James Franco | The first piece of art that I ever bought-when I could afford it-was a Warhol sketch from the period when he was just getting out of doing commercial work and more into art. It's a sketch of a young guy's face. I guess the gallery that I bought it from thought I would like it because the young guy kind of looked like James Dean. | 103 |
| Jerry Rice | I think the thing about that was I was always willing to work; I was not the fastest or biggest player but I was determined to be the best football player I could be on the football field and I think I was able to accomplish that through hard work. | 103 |
| 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.' | 103 |
| Kristen Stewart | I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies. | 103 |
| Larry Page | My grandfather was an autoworker, and I have a weapon he manufactured to protect himself from the company that he would carry to work. It's a big iron pipe with a hunk of lead on the head. I think about how far we've come as companies from those days, where workers had to protect themselves from the company. | 103 |
| Leo Burnett | The work of an advertising agency is warmly and immediately human. It deals with human needs, wants, dreams and hopes. Its 'product' cannot be turned out on an assembly line. | 103 |
| Marlee Matlin | I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone, and that's fine. | 103 |
| Mary Oliver | To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work. | 103 |
| Max Planck | Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.' | 103 |
| Mike Ditka | I don't know how to put it, but yet you know we have so many people who the way they look at life, the way they work depends on what happens, us winning or losing. It's kind of crazy. So, I kind of got caught up in that, I'm gonna try to stay away from that. | 103 |
| Mike Huckabee | Pray a little more, work a little harder, save, wait, be patient and, most of all, live within our means. That's the American way. It's not spending ourselves into prosperity or taxing ourselves into prosperity. | 103 |
| Nadia Comaneci | Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why I win. | 103 |
| Nolan Bushnell | I want to fix education in the world. As soon as I work on that, I am going to work on world hunger and then world peace. | 103 |
| Paul Giamatti | As an actor, to have achieved financial stability is amazing. But I always have this weird fear that I'm not going to get any more work; it's about not having enough money. | 103 |
| Randy Pausch | Never lose the childlike wonder. Show gratitude... Don't complain; just work harder... Never give up. | 103 |
| Reed Hastings | At Netflix, we think you have to build a sense of responsibility where people care about the enterprise. Hard work, like long hours at the office, doesn't matter as much to us. We care about great work. | 103 |
| Richard Avedon | I hate cameras. They interfere, they're always in the way. I wish: if I could work with my eyes alone. | 103 |
| Roger Staubach | Confidence comes from hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication. | 103 |
| Stokely Carmichael | An organization which claims to be working for the needs of a community - as SNCC does - must work to provide that community with a position of strength from which to make its voice heard. This is the significance of black power beyond the slogan. | 103 |
| Susan Sontag | I don't want to express alienation. It isn't what I feel. I'm interested in various kinds of passionate engagement. All my work says be serious, be passionate, wake up. | 103 |
| Thornton Wilder | Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day. | 103 |
| Tia Mowry | Having a second chance makes you want to work even harder. | 103 |
| Tom Felton | Well, my closest friends are still the ones that I went to school with, but it's nice to go to work, at the studios, and have people there that you're willing to talk to and have a good conversation with. | 103 |
| Willie Mays | In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Without one-hundred percent dedication, you won't be able to do this. | 103 |
| Wislawa Szymborska | Keep up the good work, if only for a while, if only for the twinkling of a tiny galaxy. | 103 |
| Wole Soyinka | And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others. | 103 |
| Zach Galifianakis | I used to be really cute. I could send you earlier photos where I'm stunning. But I've gained about twenty pounds over the past two years, and the more weight I've put on, the more success I've had. If you drew a diagram of weight gain and me getting more work, a mathematician would draw some conclusions from that. | 103 |
| Alexander Wang | I'm not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it's on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context. | 103 |
| Chelsea Clinton | I've always been incredibly proud of both of my parents and proud of the work I had done privately as a person, professionally and academically. | 103 |
| 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. | 103 |
| David Guetta | My studio is a laptop. Everybody I work with is the same. We make computer music, we're the laptop generation. | 103 |
| Eugene Delacroix | What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough. | 103 |
| Jerome K. Jerome | I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. | 103 |
| Junot Diaz | In the end, all worlds, whether they're set in the future or in New Jersey of today, are fictions. Sure, you don't got to do too much work to build a mundane world, but don't get it twisted: you still got to do some work. | 103 |
| Kevin Kelly | Complexity that works is built up out of modules that work perfectly, layered one over the other. | 103 |
| Leigh Steinberg | Be open to the amazing changes which are occurring in the field that interest you. | 103 |
| Marc Chagall | I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment. | 103 |
| Steve Ballmer | Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders. | 103 |
| Bill Budge | After two weeks of working on a project, you know whether it will work or not. | 103 |
| Cat Cora | My humanitarian work evolved from being with my family. My mom, my dad, they really set a great example for giving back. My mom was a nurse, my dad was a school teacher. But my mom did a lot of things for geriatrics and elderly people. She would do home visits for free. | 103 |
| M. C. Escher | My work is a game, a very serious game. | 103 |
| Milla Jovovich | I am a strong Ukrainian girl, that is why I work a lot. | 103 |
| Richard Nelson Bolles | There is a vast world of work out there in this country, where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone - many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long. | 103 |
| Richie Benaud | In fact, as a spin bowler, you have to work on the batsman over after over. | 103 |
| Rosamund Pike | Nothing can teach you what it's like to work on a film set, and the best education there can be for an actor is to walk up the street and observe human nature. | 103 |
| Stephen Hopkins | If people aren't in sync, things won't work out well. | 103 |
| Andrew Shue | Community service has taught me all kinds of skills and increased my confidence. You go out there and think on your feet, work with others and create something from nothing. That's what life's all about. | 103 |
| Anna Pavlova | No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius. | 103 |
| Camille Claudel | You find me at work; excuse the dust on my blouse. I sculpt my marble myself. | 103 |
| Julian Bond | I tell young people to prepare themselves as best they can for a world that grows more challenging every day-get the best education they can, and couple that education with real-life experience in social justice work. | 103 |
| Louis-Ferdinand Celine | Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts. | 103 |
| Maggie Gyllenhaal | You're not going to do good work if you're not choosing something because it inspires you. | 103 |
| Jeremy Irons | And trust, yes, which is important, but that is what I aim towards. Now that is difficult for some people, and with that desire to get things as good as possible, I would say that I'm probably regarded as quite prickly to work with. | 103 |
| Jeffery Deaver | When you work alone, you need to socialize at some level. | 103 |
| Joseph Murray | Work is a prayer. And I start off every morning dedicating it to our Creator. | 103 |
| Judy Holliday | Of course I work hard. Why shouldn't I? Who am I to think I should get things the easy way? | 103 |
| Benjamin Franklin | We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. | 104 |
| Confucius | Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. | 104 |
| Beyonce Knowles | I think it's healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care - that you work hard and want to give a great performance. You just have to channel that nervous energy into the show. | 104 |
| Francis of Assisi | If God can work through me, he can work through anyone. | 104 |
| 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. | 104 |
| John Dewey | To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness. | 104 |
| Rumi | Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. | 104 |
| Thomas A. Edison | Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. | 104 |
| Vince Lombardi | Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. | 104 |
| Vincent Van Gogh | I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process. | 104 |
| Nas | I wish the music business was a much easier thing, but you know what? Nothing easy is worth anything. So it is what it is. There comes a time when things can work out and everybody can be happy. And that's what it's all about in the end - everybody being happy and working it out. | 104 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work. | 104 |
| Calvin Coolidge | 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. | 104 |
| Lady Gaga | It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn't make me feel good at all. | 104 |
| Margaret Mead | I learned the value of hard work by working hard. | 104 |
| Maria Montessori | Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war. | 104 |
| Michael Jackson | And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead. | 104 |
| Morgan Freeman | I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe. | 104 |
| Adriana Lima | I eat a balanced diet. The secret is to watch your portions, but I also work out a lot. Working out a lot isn't necessary, but I am very active, and my body can endure intense workouts. | 104 |
| Amy Poehler | If you do a scene and you really like a character in it or a premise in it to write it down and to work on it so that you can have five or six characters that you can pull out in an audition. | 104 |
| Andy Goldsworthy | As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone. | 104 |
| Arnold J. Toynbee | The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play. | 104 |
| Bob Hope | If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf. | 104 |
| Bobby Flay | Brushes are crucial for applying glazes, sauces, and oils. The pastry brushes that you find in homestores can be pricey so pay a visit to your local hardware store and pick up a few paint brushes which are less expensive and work equally as well. | 104 |
| Bobby Scott | Studies have shown that inmate participation in education, vocational and job training, prison work skills development, drug abuse, mental health and other treatment programs, all reduce recidivism, significantly. | 104 |
| Brian Tracy | Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life. | 104 |
| Bruno Mars | There's always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened. | 104 |
| Chuck Close | I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around. | 104 |
| Denzel Washington | Where I think the most work needs to be done is behind the camera, not in front of it. | 104 |
| Doris Lessing | I don't know much about creative writing programs. But they're not telling the truth if they don't teach, one, that writing is hard work, and, two, that you have to give up a great deal of life, your personal life, to be a writer. | 104 |
| Eugene Ionesco | A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind. | 104 |
| Floyd Mayweather, Jr. | You've got to have a villain and they'll always make me a villain. I'm used to it - it makes me work harder and it makes me fight harder. | 104 |
| Gabe Newell | The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates. | 104 |
| Garrison Keillor | I've wanted to be a writer since I was a boy, though it seemed an unlikely outcome since I showed no real talent. But I persevered and eventually found my own row to hoe. Ignorance of other writers' work keeps me from discouragement and I am less well-read than the average bus driver. | 104 |
| George Lucas | Working hard is very important. You're not going to get anywhere without working extremely hard. | 104 |
| Gerald R. Ford | Tell the truth, work hard, and come to dinner on time. | 104 |
| GG Allin | I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want. | 104 |
| Haile Gebrselassie | You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three. Sport teaches you that. | 104 |
| Harvey Fierstein | When a politician like Marco Rubio is willing to sacrifice his career defining immigration reform legislation solely to insure that gays and lesbians are denied equal protection under the law, we have to admit that we're under attack. This is not pragmatic politics at work. These are the policies of bias, exclusion and unfairness. | 104 |
| Henry Cabot Lodge | The Pilgrim and the Puritan whom we honor tonight were men who did a great deal of work in the world. They had their faults and their - shortcomings, but they were not slothful in business and they were most fervent in spirit. | 104 |
| Irvin S. Cobb | As I understand it, sport is hard work for which you do not get paid. | 104 |
| Jack Nicklaus | Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work. | 104 |
| Kailash Satyarthi | Child slavery is a crime against humanity. Humanity itself is at stake here. A lot of work still remains, but I will see the end of child labor in my lifetime. | 104 |
| Laurence J. Peter | Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence. | 104 |
| Louis Pasteur | One must work; one must work. I have done what I could. | 104 |
| Noel Coward | If you must have motivation, think of your paycheck on Friday. | 104 |
| Oscar de la Renta | I wanted this, I wanted to do this, but my work is me, and it has to be right. | 104 |
| Ray Kroc | Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get. | 104 |
| Reba McEntire | Be different, stand out, and work your butt off. | 104 |
| Seth Godin | The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else. | 104 |
| Walter Bagehot | No great work has ever been produced except after a long interval of still and musing meditation. | 104 |
| Craig Bruce | Why are people unemployed? Because there is no work. Why is there no work? Because people are not buying products and services. Why are people not buying products and services? Because they have no money. Why do people have no money? Because they are unemployed. | 104 |
| Jeremy Lin | Tim Tebow is one of my biggest inspirations. I actually want to be able to do some of the things that he does in terms of the amount of charity work and the non-profit work, and the way he impacts people off the field. I think that is what is most inspiring to me about him. | 104 |
| John Lubbock | A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work. | 104 |
| Seal | The harder you work... and visualize something, the luckier you get. | 104 |
| George Halas | Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else. | 104 |
| Charles Kingsley | Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know. | 104 |
| Joichi Ito | Most creative work is a process of people passing ideas and inspirations from the past into the future and adding their own creativity along the way. | 104 |
| Donald Trump | When I am president, I will work to ensure that all of our kids are treated equally and protected equally. Every action I take, I will ask myself, 'Does this make life better for young Americans in Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Ferguson, who have as much of a right to live out their dreams as any other child America?' | 105 |
| Kurt Cobain | There's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I'd be overwhelmed, and it's true... I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world. | 105 |
| Leonardo da Vinci | Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art. | 105 |
| Ludwig Wittgenstein | A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes. | 105 |
| Nikos Kazantzakis | My entire soul is a cry, and all my work is a commentary on that cry. | 105 |
| Pope John Paul II | Young people are threatened... by the evil use of advertising techniques that stimulate the natural inclination to avoid hard work by promising the immediate satisfaction of every desire. | 105 |
| Susan B. Anthony | Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done. | 105 |
| Kofi Annan | The Lord had the wonderful advantage of being able to work alone. | 105 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place - that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life. | 105 |
| Antoine de Saint-Exupery | If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. | 105 |
| Audre Lorde | In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction. | 105 |
| Calvin Coolidge | All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work. | 105 |
| Johnny Depp | If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color. | 105 |
| Marcel Proust | Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself. | 105 |
| Tim Burton | It's like getting into film - I didn't say early on, 'I'm going to become a filmmaker,' 'I'm going to show my work at MoMA.' When you start to think those things, you're in trouble. | 105 |
| Angela Merkel | Nobody in Europe will be abandoned. Nobody in Europe will be excluded. Europe only succeeds if we work together. | 105 |
| Arthur Miller | If I see an ending, I can work backward. | 105 |
| Ashton Kutcher | I would just like a woman someday, somewhere, at some point in my life to say to me, 'You're a great listener.' Haven't heard it yet, and that's a superior compliment to get from a woman. But I'm going to work on it. | 105 |
| Beth Ditto | I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too; just different than mine. | 105 |
| Bette Davis | The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies. | 105 |
| Bobby Flay | I probably use my chef's knives more than any other tool in the kitchen. I'm not married to a particular brand, because they all work, they all have sharp blades. | 105 |
| Clara Barton | I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man's work for less than a man's pay. | 105 |
| Dave Pelzer | I work 338 days a year, 16 hours a day. | 105 |
| Edvard Munch | Death is pitch-dark, but colors are light. To be a painter, one must work with rays of light. | 105 |
| Fannie Lou Hamer | People have got to get together and work together. I'm tired of the kind of oppression that white people have inflicted on us and are still trying to inflict. | 105 |
| Frank Murphy | The economy in the Valley will need to grow if students want to come back and work with their specialized degrees. We need to develop more to create more opportunities. | 105 |
| George MacDonald | When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over. | 105 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | To a billion people around the world surviving on just a dollar a day, the question of what to eat tonight is more about life and death than about recipes. The struggle of poor people around the globe weighs heavily on me, especially now that I am a mother, which is why I work with Oxfam. | 105 |
| Hans Hofmann | A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world. | 105 |
| Ivan Illich | Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet; in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying... Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die. | 105 |
| Jack Canfield | Leaders cannot work in a vacuum. They may take on larger, seemingly more important roles in an organization, but this does not exclude them from asking for and using feedback. In fact, a leader arguably needs feedback more so than anyone else. It's what helps a leader respond appropriately to events in pursuit of successful outcomes. | 105 |
| Jackson Pollock | Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within. | 105 |
| Jennifer Lopez | It's a shame to call somebody a 'diva' simply because they work harder than everybody else. | 105 |
| Jon Stewart | Here's the point - you're looking at affirmative action, and you're looking at marijuana. You legalize marijuana, no need for quotas, because really, who's gonna wanna work? | 105 |
| Kenny Rogers | You know, I think the greatest gift in the world is a good employee, you know, or people who can do your work for you and do it well the way you'd like to have it done. And I've always been able to surround myself with really good people. | 105 |
| Kid Rock | You've got to work hard for your success and you've got to have a steady presence. That's the secret. | 105 |
| Laura Bush | Any first lady can do whatever they want to do. In this country, people expect them to work on whatever they want or to have a career of their own. | 105 |
| 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. | 105 |
| Meryl Streep | I'm a pain in the ass to all of the costume designers with whom I work because I have very strong feelings about the subject. | 105 |
| Michael Phelps | I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time. | 105 |
| Octavia Butler | Third, for people who aren't doing it already, take classes - they're worthwhile. Workshops or classes - a workshop is where you do actually get feedback on your work, not just something where you go and sit for a day. | 105 |
| Paul Cezanne | A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art. | 105 |
| Paul Simon | I would be willing to do almost anything to make Art happy. I care about our friendship. The only thing I won't do is change the essence of my work. | 105 |
| Phillips Brooks | To say, 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge. | 105 |
| Stephen Sondheim | If people have split views about your work, I think it's flattering. I'd rather have them feel something about it than dismiss it. | 105 |
| Andre Maurois | Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record. | 105 |
| Anna Freud | We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work. | 105 |
| James Dobson | God has called us to be His representatives in our nation and in our world. Select candidates who represent your views and work for their election. | 105 |
| Jenny McCarthy | I'm free of stress and worries now because if I don't like something I'm doing, I just find the fun in it instead of being miserable. Let me have fun with the people I work with, let me have fun making money - when I grew up so poor, ya know? | 105 |
| Al Capp | Anyone who can walk to the welfare office can walk to work. | 105 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. | 106 |
| Anne Frank | Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction. | 106 |
| Cesar Chavez | From the depth of need and despair, people can work together, can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength. | 106 |
| Dolly Parton | Thanks to Botox and fillers, as well as the work that I've already had, my face pretty much maintains itself. | 106 |
| Henry Ford | Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. | 106 |
| Hillary Clinton | We need more good jobs that reward hard work with rising wages, dignity, and a ladder to a better life. | 106 |
| Michel Foucault | Justice must always question itself, just as society can exist only by means of the work it does on itself and on its institutions. | 106 |
| Vince Lombardi | Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. | 106 |
| Ida B. Wells | If this work can contribute in any way toward proving this, and at the same time arouse the conscience of the American people to a demand for justice to every citizen, and punishment by law for the lawless, I shall feel I have done my race a service. | 106 |
| P. T. Barnum | Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now. | 106 |
| Chanakya | Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest. | 106 |
| 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. | 106 |
| 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. | 106 |
| Mark Zuckerberg | In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person, you just grow more when you get more people's perspectives... I really try and live the mission of the company and... keep everything else in my life extremely simple. | 106 |
| Tennessee Williams | The strongest influences in my life and my work are always whomever I love. Whomever I love and am with most of the time, or whomever I remember most vividly. I think that's true of everyone, don't you? | 106 |
| Alanis Morissette | A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance. | 106 |
| Bryant H. McGill | It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them, and work to get to know them a little, it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone. | 106 |
| Carl Sandburg | To work hard, to live hard, to die hard, and then go to hell after all would be too damn hard. | 106 |
| Don Marquis | When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?' | 106 |
| Earl Nightingale | Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. | 106 |
| Floyd Mayweather, Jr. | I come from a very rough background, and I'm saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too. | 106 |

| Harold S. Geneen | It is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises-but only performance is reality. | 106 |
| Harrison Ford | I don't do a huge amount of physical activity. I play tennis, I work out sporadically, and I eat well and take care of myself. | 106 |
| Harvey Mackay | Too often, sales reps simply regurgitate their presentations and expect to land the sale. It doesn't work. | 106 |
| Henry James | We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art. | 106 |
| Jim Carrey | My family kinda hit the skids. We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors. And I just got angry. | 106 |
| Jon Stewart | You just have to keep trying to do good work, and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything. Yes, I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things. | 106 |
| Keith Haring | The dripping... well, if it happens, it happens; it does not take anything from the work. The dripping just proves that you were not trying to control the work, but the work was developing by itself and if it drips, it's a natural part in the evolution of the work. | 106 |
| L'Wren Scott | I believe in stopping work and eating lunch. | 106 |
| Lawrence Welk | If you put all your strength and faith and vigor into a job and try to do the best you can, the money will come. | 106 |
| Lucille Ball | Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't. | 106 |
| Madeleine Albright | I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard. | 106 |
| Marianne Williamson | In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it. | 106 |
| Patti Smith | People have the power to redeem the work of fools. | 106 |
| Paula Deen | I am living proof that the American dream still exists. It is still alive and well. There is only one trick, you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and work very, very hard. | 106 |
| Pete Townshend | I think I probably would have enjoyed to keep my own private pain out of my work. But I was changed by my audience who said your private pain which you have unwittingly shown us in your early songs is also ours. | 106 |
| Ray Kroc | Creativity is a highfalutin word for the work I have to do between now and Tuesday. | 106 |
| Roald Dahl | The writer has to force himself to work. He has to make his own hours and if he doesn't go to his desk at all there is nobody to scold him. | 106 |
| Stephen Leacock | What we call creative work, ought not to be called work at all, because it isn't. I imagine that Thomas Edison never did a day's work in his last fifty years. | 106 |
| 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. | 106 |
| Thomas J. Watson | All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work. | 106 |
| Henry Drummond | Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home. | 106 |
| Mehmet Oz | In my business, if I get too close to you and you die, it hurts me. And so you develop a natural inclination not to be close to the patient, so that if things don't work out ideally, you can still get up the next day and care for the next patient. | 106 |
| Walter Wager | I met an American woman and got married so I had to get a job. | 106 |
| A. R. Ammons | There's something to be said in favor of working in isolation in the real world. | 106 |
| Julianna Margulies | I feel responsible that everyone has a really wonderful experience and to do the best work possible, and to always know my lines and to always be on time and to bring a level to the show in terms of quality that other people will follow. | 106 |
| Barack Obama | Fixing a broken immigration system. Protecting our kids from gun violence. Equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. All these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and I will not let up until they get done. | 107 |
| Richard Branson | Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won't make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa - and it's about getting a balance. | 107 |
| Terry Pratchett | The harder I work, the luckier I become. | 107 |
| Wayne Dyer | You aren't your work, your accomplishments, your possessions, your home, your family... your anything. You're a creation of your Source, dressed in a physical human body intended to experience and enjoy life on Earth. | 107 |
| Calvin Coolidge | When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results. | 107 |
| Elbert Hubbard | Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed - there's so little competition. | 107 |
| Richard P. Feynman | It's the way I study - to understand something by trying to work it out or, in other words, to understand something by creating it. Not creating it one hundred percent, of course; but taking a hint as to which direction to go but not remembering the details. These you work out for yourself. | 107 |
| Donald Norman | And to get real work experience, you need a job, and most jobs will require you to have had either real work experience or a graduate degree. | 107 |
| Doris Lessing | This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there's a layer of people who run everything. But we - we're just peasants. We don't understand what's going on, and we can't do anything. | 107 |
| Ellen Ochoa | Being an astronaut is a wonderful career. I feel very privileged. But what I really hope for young people is that they find a career they're passionate about, something that's challenging and worthwhile. | 107 |
| Ezra Pound | The modern artist must live by craft and violence. His gods are violent gods. Those artists, so called, whose work does not show this strife, are uninteresting. | 107 |
| Jawaharlal Nehru | Loyal and efficient work in a great cause, even though it may not be immediately recognized, ultimately bears fruit. | 107 |
| John Heywood | Many hands make light work. | 107 |
| Paul McCartney | I don't work at being ordinary. | 107 |
| Pope Paul VI | The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal. | 107 |
| Shah Rukh Khan | I am very clear that when I work with a director what he or she says is the last word. | 107 |
| Gary Sinise | Careers, like rockets, don't always take off on time. The trick is to always keep the engine running. | 107 |
| Jessica Lange | To work on the actual location I think is great. This thing of going to Canada and pretending you're in New York, it's terrible. | 107 |
| Edwin Moses | I always got my work done before playing. | 107 |
| Charles Duke | Two months after I got out of test pilot school, I saw an advert that said NASA was recruiting more astronauts. The best job you could have as a test pilot was being an astronaut, so I volunteered. | 107 |
| Colin Powell | Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard. | 108 |
| Jean-Paul Sartre | The best work is not what is most difficult for you; it is what you do best. | 108 |
| Thomas A. Edison | Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. | 108 |
| Vince Lombardi | The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. | 108 |
| Nicolaus Copernicus | Therefore, when I considered this carefully, the contempt which I had to fear because of the novelty and apparent absurdity of my view, nearly induced me to abandon utterly the work I had begun. | 108 |
| Gore Vidal | The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all. | 108 |
| Mao Zedong | The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it. | 108 |
| Scarlett Johansson | It's important for people to figure out their own lives before involving someone else - to gauge where you are and work on your own issues. | 108 |
| W. Edwards Deming | All anyone asks for is a chance to work with pride. | 108 |
| Alan Rickman | If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work. | 108 |
| B. C. Forbes | Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert. | 108 |
| Charles Kettering | The biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work. | 108 |
| Conan O'Brien | Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. | 108 |
| Jacques Yves Cousteau | If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work. | 108 |
| 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. | 108 |
| Marco Rubio | When I'm president of the United States, we're going to have a VA that cares more about our veterans than about the bureaucrats who work at the VA. | 108 |
| Mikhail Gorbachev | It would be naive to think that the problems plaguing mankind today can be solved with means and methods which were applied or seemed to work in the past. | 108 |
| Ray Kroc | If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours. | 108 |
| Samuel Goldwyn | The harder I work, the luckier I get. | 108 |
| Thomas S. Monson | I counseled many returning missionaries. I interviewed 1,700 missionaries all over the world. My advice to them is that you should study and prepare for your life's work in a field that you enjoy. | 108 |
| Cameron Diaz | I think that anything that you do, any accomplishment that you make, you have to work for. And I've worked very hard in the last ten years of my life, definitely, and I can tell you that hard work pays off. It's not just a cliche. | 108 |
| Anna Held | There is no disgrace in working. There was no silver spoon around at the time I was born. | 108 |
| Lao Tzu | A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. | 109 |
| Mother Teresa | The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it. | 109 |
| Alan Watts | No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. | 109 |
| Elon Musk | If you want to grow a giant redwood, you need to make sure the seeds are ok, nurture the sapling, and work out what might potentially stop it from growing all the way along. Anything that breaks it at any point stops that growth. | 109 |
| Jim Morrison | It's like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don't know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It's like the throw of the dice. | 109 |
| John Dewey | The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. | 109 |
| Simon Sinek | Starbucks was founded around the experience and the environment of their stores. Starbucks was about a space with comfortable chairs, lots of power outlets, tables and desks at which we could work and the option to spend as much time in their stores as we wanted without any pressure to buy. The coffee was incidental. | 109 |
| Chanakya | Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead. | 109 |
| Joyce Meyer | Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you're not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation! | 109 |
| W. Edwards Deming | The average American worker has fifty interruptions a day, of which seventy percent have nothing to do with work. | 109 |
| Will Smith | And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working. | 109 |
| 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. | 109 |

| Henri Matisse | Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us. | 109 |
| Joseph Conrad | I don't like work... but I like what is in work - the chance to find yourself. Your own reality - for yourself, not for others - which no other man can ever know. | 109 |
| Ogden Nash | If you don't want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work. | 109 |
| Saint Francis de Sales | We must never undervalue any person. The workman loves not that his work should be despised in his presence. Now God is present everywhere, and every person is His work. | 109 |
| Evan Esar | America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week. | 109 |
| David Bowie | Tony Visconti and I had been wanting to work together again for a few years now. Both of us had fairly large commitments and for a long time we couldn't see a space in which we could get anything together. | 110 |
| Louis C. K. | I've learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work. | 110 |
| Georgia O'Keeffe | It was all so far away - there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased. | 110 |
| Sophocles | Without labor nothing prospers. | 110 |
| Ayrton Senna | I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence. | 110 |
| Ginger Rogers | The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first. | 110 |
| Herman Melville | They talk of the dignity of work. The dignity is in leisure. | 110 |
| Joseph Conrad | Some great men owe most of their greatness to the ability of detecting in those they destine for their tools the exact quality of strength that matters for their work. | 110 |
| Mary Kay Ash | We treat our people like royalty. If you honor and serve the people who work for you, they will honor and serve you. | 110 |
| Thomas Fuller | All things are difficult before they are easy. | 110 |
| Charles Spurgeon | However great may be the work for which we are responsible, we will always do well if we pause to spend time in sacred praise. | 111 |
| Colin Powell | We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al-Qaeda didn't come back, and make sure the Taliban wasn't resurging. It didn't work out. | 111 |
| John Locke | All wealth is the product of labor. | 111 |
| Margaret Thatcher | Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan. | 111 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics, nobody even knows or cares. Where Einstein really affects the Bible is the fact that general relativity is the organizing principle for the Big Bang. | 111 |
| Peter Drucker | Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done. | 111 |
| Rosa Parks | All I was doing was trying to get home from work. | 111 |
| Stephen Covey | The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life. | 111 |
| Michael Jackson | I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family and we all work. | 111 |
| Adlai E. Stevenson | The journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step. So we must never neglect any work of peace within our reach, however small. | 111 |
| Dmitri Mendeleev | Work, look for peace and calm in work: you will find it nowhere else. | 111 |
| Neil Armstrong | I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work. | 111 |
| Rihanna | When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion. | 111 |
| Shah Rukh Khan | I work hard, like I'm sure everyone else does, and I'm very honest with the work I do. | 111 |
| Stevie Wonder | Ya gots to work with what you gots to work with. | 111 |
| Marc Chagall | Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life. | 111 |
| James Levine | Most people treat the office manual the way they treat a software manual. They never look at it. | 111 |
| Barack Obama | It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label. | 112 |
| Plato | The beginning is the most important part of the work. | 112 |
| Dale Carnegie | Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours. | 112 |
| George Bernard Shaw | I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. | 112 |
| Jim Rohn | If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us. | 112 |
| John C. Maxwell | Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team. | 112 |
| Leonard Cohen | Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity. | 112 |
| Robert Frost | The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office. | 112 |
| Toni Morrison | I get angry about things, then go on and work. | 112 |
| Vince Lombardi | Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile. | 112 |
| Ice Cube | I have a really beautiful life right now, so there is no reason to be hostile. I'm a husband, a father and a man who tries to do the right thing in life and in my work. | 112 |
| Ann Landers | Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat. | 112 |
| Christina Rossetti | Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun. | 112 |
| Fidel Castro | My idea, as the whole world knows, is that the capitalist system now doesn't work either for the United States or the world, driving it from crisis to crisis, which are each time more serious. | 112 |
| Thomas Dekker | Honest labor bears a lovely face. | 112 |
| William Feather | Concentrate on your job and you will forget your other troubles. | 112 |

| Fyodor Dostoevsky | Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad. | 113 |
| Henry Rollins | Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts. | 113 |

| Stephen Hawking | Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. | 113 |
| Thomas A. Edison | The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense. | 113 |
| 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! | 113 |
| Don Shula | One thing I never want to be accused of is not working. | 113 |
| Harold Wilson | One man's wage increase is another man's price increase. | 113 |
| 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. | 113 |
| Albert Camus | A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession. | 114 |
| Leonard Cohen | We're in a world where there's famine and hunger and people are dodging bullets and having their nails pulled out in dungeons so it's very hard for me to place any high value on the work that I do to write a song. Yeah, I work hard but compared to what? | 114 |
| Margaret Thatcher | I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near. | 114 |
| Thomas A. Edison | I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun. | 114 |
| 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. | 114 |
| John D. Rockefeller | Good management consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people. | 114 |
| Mae West | One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it. | 114 |
| Milton Friedman | The black market was a way of getting around government controls. It was a way of enabling the free market to work. It was a way of opening up, enabling people. | 114 |
| Abu Bakr | O man you are busy working for the world, and the world is busy trying to turn you out. | 114 |
| Jean Cocteau | Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail. | 114 |
| Leonardo DiCaprio | I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of. | 114 |
| Noel Coward | Work is much more fun than fun. | 114 |
| Paul Cezanne | My nervous system is enfeebled, only work in oils can sustain me. | 114 |
| Lao Tzu | When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.' | 115 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent. | 115 |
| Elon Musk | Any product that needs a manual to work is broken. | 115 |
| Robert Frost | By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day. | 115 |
| Stephen Hawking | It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years. | 115 |
| Vince Lombardi | People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society. | 115 |
| 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. | 115 |
| Georgia O'Keeffe | The days you work are the best days. | 115 |
| George Sand | Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure. | 115 |
| Jim Carrey | I'm the first to admit this whole salary thing is getting out of control. In the final analysis, it's still about the work. | 115 |
| Paul Ryan | And if small businesspeople say they made it on their own, all they are saying is that nobody else worked seven days a week in their place. Nobody showed up in their place to open the door at five in the morning. Nobody did their thinking, and worrying, and sweating for them. | 115 |
| Grover Cleveland | Honor lies in honest toil. | 115 |
| Buddha | Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. | 116 |
| 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. | 116 |
| Dale Carnegie | If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done. | 116 |
| Joseph Campbell | I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave. | 116 |
| Leonard Cohen | I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied to a man at the end of his work. When he looks back over the body of his work and he's written poetry then let the verdict be that he's a poet. | 116 |
| Malcolm X | If ballots won't work, bullets will. | 116 |

| Tennessee Williams | All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress. | 117 |
| Barack Obama | Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes,' he said, his voice rising as applause and cheers mounted. 'Shake it off. Stop complainin'. Stop grumblin'. Stop cryin'. We are going to press on. We have work to do. | 118 |

| Vince Lombardi | The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. | 118 |
| Warren Buffett | The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: 'I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love.' But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get. | 118 |
| Elbert Hubbard | One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. | 118 |

I cannot overstate the importance of practicing. Get some close friends or family members to help evaluate you, or somebody at work that you trust. | 119 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Let me define a leader. He must have vision and passion and not be afraid of any problem. Instead, he should know how to defeat it. Most importantly, he must work with integrity. | 119 |
| James A. Baldwin | Fires can't be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks. | 119 |
| Margaret Mead | It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age. | 119 |

| Thomas S. Monson | Work will win when wishy washy wishing won t. | 122 |

| J. Paul Getty | There are one hundred men seeking security to one able man who is willing to risk his fortune. | 214 |
