Giorgio de Chirico
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.

A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment.

Greta Scacchi
It’s not that hard to be good, you can be good off raw talent. But I feel like it’s that extra step, doing work and putting a body of work in and doing things when nobody else is watching. When nobody else is telling you to do it, you’re pushing yourself to do it.

The American Dream I believe in is one that provides anyone willing to work hard enough with the opportunity to succeed.

We’re all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter – for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.

I’m going to work so that it’s a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.

Henry J Kaiser

All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness.

With hard work and effort, you can achieve anything.

The hardest work in the world is being out of work.

Whitney M Young

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

Every man loves what he is good at.

Don’t stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed.

My 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.

The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity.

Joshua Waitzkin
I don’t live to work; I work to live.

Archimedes was my ideal. I admired the works of artists, but to my mind, they were only shadows and semblances. The inventor, I thought, gives to the world creations which are palpable, which live and work.

I try to keep in mind that it’s a long journey. It’s not a race. It’s about staying focused, continuing to do good work, make my family and community proud; that’s all I really want to do… and pay my bills.

Two months after I got out of test pilot school, I saw an advert that said NASA was recruiting more astronauts. The best job you could have as a test pilot was being an astronaut, so I volunteered.

Any artist, the work you do, if it’s a painting or if it’s a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else’s life. That’s what’s fun about sharing art.

Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff.

I never called my work an ‘art’. It’s part of show business, the business of building entertainment.

Mahalia Jackson

Always work hard and have fun in what you do because I think that’s when you’re more successful. You have to choose to do it.

Love, work, and knowledge are the wellsprings of our lives, they should also govern it.

Wilhelm Reich
In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.

It’s a great feeling when your work is appreciated.

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.

The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

Harry Golden
Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

Live like you’ll die tomorrow, work like you don’t need the money, and dance like nobody’s watching.

Bob Fosse
Jazz, to me, is one of the inherent expressions of Negro life in America: the eternal tom-tom beating in the Negro soul – the tom-tom of revolt against weariness in a white world, a world of subway trains, and work, work, work; the tom-tom of joy and laughter, and pain swallowed in a smile.

Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work.

I feel I am lucky. I am grateful for this life that God has given me. I am happy, as I am getting to do work that I want to do and enjoy doing it.

Intersectionality draws attention to invisibilities that exist in feminism, in anti-racism, in class politics, so, obviously, it takes a lot of work to consistently challenge ourselves to be attentive to aspects of power that we don’t ourselves experience.

One must work and dare if one really wants to live.

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.

Give yourself something to work toward – constantly.

Mary Kay Ash
Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity.

I am not an optimist. I’m a very serious possibilist. It’s a new category where we take emotion apart and we just work analytically with the world.

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.

I believe in work, hard work, and long hours of work. Men do not breakdown from overwork, but from worry and dissipation.

Charles Evans Hughes
I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.

Dustin Lynch
For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I’m not sure where I’m going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn’t do it.

Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.

Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn’t guarantee success, but without it you don’t have a chance.
