3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 Lee Krasner My own image of my work is that I no sooner settle into something than a break occurs. These breaks are always painful and depressing but despite them I see that there’s a consistency that holds out, but is hard to define.
3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 Chuck Jones The whole essence of good drawing – and of good thinking, perhaps – is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.
3 December 2020 Ben Affleck All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared.
3 December 2020 Pamela Anderson My ideal relaxation is working on upholstry. I spend hours in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself, and it’s like therapy.
3 December 2020 Lady Gaga I work very hard, but when God opens that door for you – when life opens that door for you, I should say – I think it’s important to be giving, to return the love back.
3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 Wendell Willkie In no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution.
3 December 2020 Harold S. Geneen Managers in all too many American companies do not achieve the desired results because nobody makes them do it.
3 December 2020 Charles Stanley God has ways of shaking the world when He is at work. He literally caused the ground to quake when Jesus died on the cross.
3 December 2020 Theodore Roosevelt I don’t pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
3 December 2020 Dwight D. Eisenhower When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were – to the very last minute – a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.
3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 Neil Gaiman This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence. Or lack thereof.
3 December 2020 Thomas A. Edison Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won’t work.
3 December 2020 W. Clement Stone When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.
3 December 2020 Lady Gaga When you’re around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it’s not strange, it’s just Gaga.
3 December 2020 Ann Rule Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other’s work.
3 December 2020 Kim Weston What I had to prove was that I had a dedication and a desire and a passion to do the work and everything else would fall in place because I have a vision that I want to portray and it did and I do it. I don’t sell anything.
3 December 2020 Bo Bennett We can create the ultimate job security by becoming less dependent on the organization for which we work and more dependent on our own resources.
3 December 2020 Francois de La Rochefoucauld 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.
3 December 2020 Mel Brooks Well, just being stupid and politically incorrect doesn’t work. You can be politically incorrect if you’re smart.
3 December 2020 Woody Allen I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.
3 December 2020 John Grisham I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work.
