Work Quotes A-Z by Author - Page 2 of 2 |
I'm lucky. I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
I never really had a job. I was a football
player, then a football coach, then a football
broadcaster. It's been my life. Pro football
has been my life since 1967. I've enjoyed
every part of it. Never once did it ever
feel like work.

Political economy regards the proletarian
like a horse, he must receive enough to
enable him to work. It does not consider
him, during the time when he is not working,
as a human being. It leaves this to criminal
law, doctors, religion, statistical tables,
politics, and the beadle.

I don't mind paying people more for something
if we're getting more. But just to change
a deal because you're greedy and you want
more? No. I'm not gonna go along with that.
Vince

I always wanted to be the best I could be
at whatever I did. I didn't want to be the
number one golfer in the world. I just wanted
to be as good as I could be. I work hard,
I push myself hard, and I probably even
expect too much of myself.
Greg
Norman - Work
- Commitment

I was at the end of my tether when my first
book was published. For eight years I didn't
make a penny, I worked so hard, didn't drink,
didn't enjoy life.
Orhan
Pamuk - Work
- Commitment

I work seven days a week, from 9 in the
morning till 8 at night. I have the titles
of the next eight novels I want to write.
I feel myself pitiable, degraded on a day
that I don't write.
Orhan
Pamuk - Work
- Commitment
Turks have a dismissive phrase: he works
like a clerk. I have turned this insult
around: I am proud to say that I work like
a clerk.
Orhan
Pamuk - Work
- Optimistic
Nothing of great value in this life comes
easily. The things of highest value sometimes
come hard. The gold that has the greatest
value lies deepest in the earth, as do the
diamonds.
Norman
Vincent Peale - Life

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

good things we build end up building us.

If I were born again, I would still be an
industrialist. I complain because it’s
very hard work with no weekends, but I would
still do it.

You got to like your work. You have got
to like what you are doing, you have got
to be doing something worthwhile so you
can like it.. because it is worthwhile,
that it makes a difference, don't you see?
Colonel
Sanders - Work

I
have yet to find the man, however exalted
his station, who did not do better work
and put forth greater effort under a spirit
of approval than under a spirit of criticism.
Charles
Schwab - Management

-
The
man who does not work for the love of work
but only for money is not likely to make
money nor find much fun in life.

I don’t believe in talking about my
work. I let it speak for itself. I’d
rather make money than just talk about my
business. People think that because I don’t
talk much to the media, I am arrogant. I
am not arrogant, but I do have an attitude.

I'm not doing my philanthropic work, out
of any kind of guilt, or any need to create
good public relations. I'm doing it because
I can afford to do it, and I believe in
it.
George
Soros - Philanthropy
- Work
-
My foundations support people in the country
who care about an open society. It's their
work that I'm supporting. So it's not me
doing it. But I can empower them. I can
support them, and I can help them.

When you hire me, you hire a nut who is
going to work 24 hours a day for you and
never, ever burn his audience.
Howard
Stern - Employee
- Work
I'm not a good listener some times. I'm
too much of a control freak. I’m learning
to be better. I was so caught up in just
getting the job done that I would miss out
on the human aspect of this. There was a
connection missing.
Howard
Stern - Work
- Focus
I don't claim anything of the work. It is
his work. I am like a little pencil in his
hand. That is all. He does the thinking.
He does the writing. The pencil has nothing
to do with it.

efforts that nobody sees or appreciates
before you achieve anything worthwhile.
Brian
Tracy - Goals

Your earning ability is largely determined
by the perception of excellence, quality,
and value that others have of you and what
you do. The market only pays excellent rewards
for excellent performance. It pays average
rewards for average performance, and it
pays below average rewards or unemployment
for below average performance.
Brian
Tracy - Earning
- Work
- Wages
Your income is a direct reward for the quality
and quantity of the services you render
to your world. Whatever field you are in,
if you want to double your income, you simply
have to double the quality and quantity
of what you do for that income. Or you have
to change activities and occupations so
that what you are doing is worth twice as
much.
Brian

Well, yes, I've fired a lot of people. Generally
I like other people to fire, because it's
always a lousy task. But I have fired many
people.
Donald
Trump - Management

When I started out in business, I spent
a great deal of time researching every detail
that might be pertinent to the deal I was
interested in making. I still do the same
today. People often comment on how quickly
I operate, but the reason I can move quickly
is that I’ve done the background work
first, which no one usually sees. I prepare
myself thoroughly, and then when it is time
to move ahead, I am ready to sprint.
Donald
Trump - Business

I like to live. I like to dance. I like

Sam
Walton - Work

I can focus on writing, or I can get lost
in wonderfully fun but endless conversations
and produce nothing new at all. I count
on those people who enjoy my work to understand
this.

you love, and the work fulfills you, the

I can't deny that Jerry Springer supposedly
beating us didn't affect me. There was a
point where I felt like, Golly, you work
so hard, you try so hard and the people
say they want meaningful television and
then Jerry Springer ends up beating you.
It was disturbing.
Oprah

The big secret in life is that there is

busy are you?" but "What are you
busy at?" "Are you doing what
fulfills you?"
