Barack ObamaKnowledge comes but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face 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.
Calvin CoolidgeYour work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

Steve JobsThere are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors rickshaw drivers and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.
Hillary ClintonProducing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going 'I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.'
Drew BarrymoreMy message especially to young people is to have courage to think differently courage to invent to travel the unexplored path courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed.

Margaret MeadLabor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration.
Abraham LincolnIf at the end of the week's work and on receiving his wages he were to ask his employer for a larger sum pleading that though he could not justly claim it and did not really deserve it yet he expected it he would not only receive the larger sum but would doubtless be discharged from his post. Yet in spiritual things men do not think it to be either foolish or selfish to ask for these blessings

Brian TracyIn every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any other and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.
Francis BaconI spent my whole life in the private sector 25 years in the private sector.

If the economy doesn't grow we don't put Americans to work.
Mitt RomneyI won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
Carl SandburgIt wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it's just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours so we can pay the bills, or do the laundry, or just have some peace and quiet for a change.
Michelle ObamaI have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

Walt DisneyI'm no longer just a candidate. I'm the President. I know what it means to send young Americans into battle for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn't return. I've shared the pain of families who've lost their homes and the frustration of workers who've lost their jobs.
Barack ObamaI don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.
Henry RollinsMeasures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men who are, after all, imperfect instruments working for their fulfillment.
Mahatma GandhiThe world we see, that seems so insane, is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.
William JamesI am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.
Bette DavisI think what you're seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers our sisters our children our cousins our friends our co-workers and that they've got to be treated like every other American. And I think that principle will win out.
Barack ObamaThe design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like although that was part of it. Primarily it was how it worked. To design something really well you have to get it.

Steve JobsI suppose I have a really loose interpretation of "work " because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
Andy WarholAmidst all the clutter beyond all the obstacles aside from all the static are the goals set. Put your head down do the best job possible let the flak pass and work towards those goals.
Donald RumsfeldTo work hard to live hard to die hard and then go to hell after all would be too damn hard.
Carl SandburgI had rather believe all the fables in the Legend and the Talmud and the Alcoran than that this universal frame is without a mind. And therefore God never wrought miracle to convince atheism because his ordinary works convince it. It is true that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.

Helen KellerThe only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.

George CarlinEveryone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.
Napoleon HillIndividuality is founded in feeling, and the recesses of feeling the darker blinder strata of character are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making and directly perceive how events happen and how work is actually done.

Bette DavisThe 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.
Stephen CoveyWell all comedy starts with anger. You get angry and its never for a good reason right? You know its not a good reason. And then you try and work it from there.
Jerry SeinfeldEurope is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art a scientific theory a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.
Aldous HuxleyAs president Reagan worked very well with Democrats to do big things. It is true that he worked to reduce the size of government and cut federal taxes and he eliminated many regulations but he also raised taxes when necessary.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI do the same exercises I did 50 years ago and they still work. I eat the same food I ate 50 years ago and it still works.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe American culture promotes personal responsibility, the dignity of work, the value of education, the merit of service, devotion to a purpose greater than self and, at the foundation, the pre-eminence of family.
Mitt RomneyWe work to become not to acquire.
Elbert HubbardI don't think I am evangelical in my work.
J. K. RowlingI think that in itself if you're a true golfer you'll see specific things you need to work on. Much cheaper than private lessons.
Tiger WoodsI think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn't want them either so it worked out well.

Theodor W. AdornoMan was made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Mark TwainWhen a great many people are unable to find work unemployment results.

Paul RyanThe sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place.
Steven WrightThe idea that to make a man work you've got to hold gold in front of his eyes is a growth not an axiom. We've done that for so long that we've forgotten there's any other way.
F. Scott FitzgeraldI know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good you have to practice practice practice. If you don't love something then don't do it.
Ray BradburyWorking hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday and ordinary holidays are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.
Winston ChurchillMy experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

Clint EastwoodYounger guys now are all working out and you find that if everyone's doing it and you're not doing it you're going to be left behind.
Tiger WoodsIf the audience is made to do not enough work they resent it without knowing it. Too much and they get lost. There's a perfect pace to be found. And a perfect place that is different for every line of the play.
Tom StoppardWhat I've discovered is that in art as in music there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.
Lady GagaFord? There's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for 'Hamlet' they've worked out
Douglas AdamsLaziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction.

Sai BabaBuying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth.

Simone WeilThere is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome.
Andre GideIn scientific work those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact.
Thomas HuxleyYou use a glass mirror to see your face, you use works of art to see your soul.
George Bernard ShawIf people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
MichelangeloIt seems to me that the idea traditionally defended of endeavoring to maintain existing ethnic balances simply doesn't work any more.
William F. Buckley, Jr.As a cure for worrying work is better than whiskey.
Ralph Waldo EmersonPeople of genius do not excel in any profession because they work in it they work in it because they excel.
