Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.
Dreams are not those that come to us while we are sleeping, but dreams are those that you don’t sleep before fulfilling them.
Today I will do what others won’t so tomorrow I can do what others can’t.
Push yourself to do more and to experience more. Harness your energy to start expanding your dreams. Yes, expand your dreams. Don't accept a life of mediocrity when you hold such infinite potential within the fortress of your mind. Dare to tap into your greatness.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.
Work hard at your job and you can make a living. Work hard on yourself and you can make a fortune.
Preparation for tomorrow is hard work today.
I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
Do one thing at a time, and while doing it put your whole soul into it to the exclusion of all else.
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work.
Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise.
Luck is the dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.
Work hard, have fun and make history.
If you want to turn a vision into reality, you have to give 100% and never stop believing in your dream.
I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one.
Success isn’t owned. It’s leased. And rent is due every day.
I hate that word – “lucky.” It cheapens a lot of hard work. Living in Brooklyn in an apartment without any heat and paying for dinner at the bodega with dimes – I don’t think I felt myself lucky back then. Doing plays for 50 bucks and trying to be true to myself as an artist and turning down commercials where they wanted a leprechaun. Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn. So I won’t say I’m lucky. I’m fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.
I don’t count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. When I feel pain, that’s when I start counting, because that’s when it really counts.
