Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else.

When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

One thing I never want to be accused of is not working.

One isn't born one's self. One is born with a mass of expectations, a mass of other people's ideas - and you have to work through it all.

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

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.

I have a motto: Work to become, not to acquire.

I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.

I believe that good things come to those who work.

In the workplace, employees should be judged on their merit and hard work and not on aspects that are irrelevant to their performance.

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.

When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I'm sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.

Gut feeling is all about the experiences that you have had in your life. It is about being in difficult scenarios, knowing what worked, what did not work, and then taking a decision.

I believe there are two periods in life, one for the bike, the other for becoming active on one's work.

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

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

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

I was kind of an unhappy kid. I always felt like a cynical New Yorker trapped in a little kid's body. I started to get some pretty bad anxiety disorders around puberty, which totally did not work with growing up a mile away from the beach. I started cutting my own hair.

Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don't complain.

I have all the tools and gadgets. I tell my son, who's a producer, 'You never work for the machine; the machine works for you.'

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

I think that I was raised by two of the best people ever. My mother and father are just the definition of hard work, like what hard work brings to you. They've taught me and my brothers and sisters to set your goals high and to give everything to reach them.

We all work really hard, and we do it because we're passionate. We don't do it because we're being rated. However, we'd all be remiss if we didn't think that some kind of recognition for efforts and accomplishments didn't make you feel good.

I arranged 'DT Suga,' which I previously used in lyrics, backwards. 'DT' is D Town and refers to my hometown. I like the meaning, and it sounds cool when I say it, so I think I'll continue using this name when I work externally. I also like how the mixtape came out in August.

Work takes on new meaning when you feel you are pointed in the right direction. Otherwise, it's just a job, and life is too short for that.

I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.

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

Making better choices takes work. There is a daily give and take, but it is worth the effort.

The very first thing I tell every intern on the first day is that their internship exists solely on their resume. As far as I am concerned, they are a full-time member of my team. For all the negative stereotypes about millennials, you would be astounded by how hard they work when they believe their contribution matters.

In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.

I work on my body to stay fit, but that does not make me superior to anyone. I am a forthright and hardworking girl.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

You can't be the accountant in your accounting firm. You can't cut the grass in your landscaping business. You can't work on the vehicles in your auto repair shop... And you really can't spend all of your time managing those actions, either.

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

Keep up the good work, if only for a while, if only for the twinkling of a tiny galaxy.

People and organizations don't grow much without delegation and completed staff work because they are confined to the capacities of the boss and reflect both personal strengths and weaknesses.

My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.

We truly believe with hard work, dedication and perseverance, we can become the best at what we do. No one wants to become mediocre.

Creative work gives you an almost indissoluble connection with people.

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Like most photographers, I try to capture a moment in my work.

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

Grinding is a mindset and a willingness and commitment to work at it.

In terms of instilling the values of mental toughness and work ethic, discipline is the gift that keeps on giving.

As a leader, these attributes - confidence, perseverance, work ethic and good sense - are all things I look for in people. I also try to lead by example and create an environment where good questions and good ideas can come from anyone.

Work will win when wishy washy wishing won t.

I'd like to dial it back 5% or 10% and try to have a vacation that's not just e-mail with a view.

Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.

Love what you do. There's always going to be someone else who's smarter than you, but there's no substitute for passion. People who are passionate always work the hardest, and that sets them apart.
