I have no Napoleonic dream. I'm just hard-working
and pragmatic.
Roman
Abramovich - Passions
- Work
It is hope in this wider sense which enabled
my father to build, from scratch, one of
India's largest modern enterprises. His
was an undertaking powered by hard work,
initiative, self-belief but, above all else,
the capacity, as he would often say, "to
dream with your eyes wide open".
Anil

I think you have to work with people, and
when I talk about managing relationships,
don’t think the derogatory ‘‘managed
relationships’’. It is a question
of sharing emotion and feelings. The common
denominator of everything can’t be
money, and it should not be money.
Anil

I've always worked very, very hard, and

Public education is the key civil rights
issue of the 21st century. Our nation's
knowledge-based economy demands that we
provide young people from all backgrounds
and circumstances with the education and
skills necessary to become knowledge workers.
If we don't, we run the risk of creating
an even larger gap between the middle class
and the poor. This gap threatens our democracy,
our society and the economic future of America.

I've worked for four presidents and watched
two others up close, and I know that there's
no such thing as a routine day in the Oval
Office.
Dick

That's the nature of the intelligence business.
You have to work with what you can get your
hands on, but it is.. and in fact it's more
an art form than it is a science, and you
have to continually work the problem, continually
try..
Dick
Cheney - Politicians
- Work
- Intelligent
One of the problems we have as a government
is our inability to keep secrets. And it
costs us, in terms of our relationship with
other governments, in terms of the willingness
of other intelligence services to work with
us, in terms of revealing sources and methods.
And all of those elements enter into some
of these leaks.

Cheney - Politicians

I feel sorry for the person who can't get
genuinely excited about his work. Not only

never achieve anything worthwhile.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil,
tears and sweat.
Winston
Churchill - Commitment
- Work
- Politicians
The kind of commitment I find among the
best performers across virtually every field
is a single-minded passion for what they
do, an unwavering desire for excellence
in the way they think and the way they work.
Genuine confidence is what launches you
out of bed in the morning, and through your
day with a spring in your step.

There are a lot of things that go into creating
success. I don't like to do just the things
I like to do. I like to do things that cause
the company to succeed. I don't spend a
lot of time doing my favorite activities.
Michael
Dell - Company

One of the great movements in my lifetime
among educated people is the need to commit
themselves to action. Most people are not
satisfied with giving money; we also feel
we need to work.
Peter
Drucker - Work

The corporation is the “master”, the
employee is the “servant”. Because the corporation
owns the means of production without which
the employee could not make a living, the
employee needs the corporation more than
vice versa.
Peter

Executives owe it to the organization and
to their fellow workers not to tolerate

Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend
yourself on the work before you, well assured

duties will be the best preparation for
the hours and ages that will follow it.
Ralph

Nobody can think straight who does not work.
Idleness warps the mind.
Henry
Ford - Laziness
A customer is the most important visitor
on our premises, he is not dependent on
us. We are dependent on him. He is not an
interruption in our work. He is the purpose
of it. He is not an outsider in our business.
He is part of it. We are not doing him a
favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor
by giving us an opportunity to do so.

Gates - Work

me. It's meant that I'm a little more balanced.
In my twenties I worked massively, hardly
took vacation at all. Now, I, with the help
of my wife, I'm always making sure I've
got a good balance of how I spend my time.

The entrepreneur is not really interested
in doing the work; he is interested in creating
the way the company operates. In that regard,
the entrepreneur is an inventor. He or she
loves to invent, but does not love to manufacture
or sell or distribute what he or she invents.
Michael

Home Stores to make more money but it’s

The people who are doing the work are the
moving force behind the Macintosh. My job

it at bay.
Steve

I would tell young people to start where
they are with what they have and that the
secret of a big success is starting with
a small success and dreaming bigger and
bigger dreams, I would tell them also that
a young Black woman or a young Black man
can't dream too much today or dare too much
if he or she works hard, perseveres and
dedicates themselves to excellence.

No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except
for money.
Samuel
Johnson - Work
- Money
You cannot spend money in luxury without
doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more
good to them by spending it in luxury, than
by giving it; for by spending it in luxury,
you make them exert industry, whereas by
giving it, you keep them idle.
Samuel
Johnson - Money
- Rich
- Work
The
right to private property meant at the same
time the right and duty to be personally
concerned about your own well-being, to
be personally concerned about your family's
income, to be personally concerned about
your future. This is hard work.
Mikhail
Khodorkovsky - Money
- Responsibility

There is an immutable conflict at work in
life and in business, a constant battle

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.
