Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
Browning, Robert

Williams, A.L.

3.
Despite the success cult, men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there -- or failing to get there.

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.
Kennedy, John F.

Whenever a man does the best he can, then that is all he can do.
Truman, Harry S

11.
The only method by which people can be supported is out of the effort of those who are earning their own way. We must not create a deterrent to hard work.

Have you ever watched a stonecutter at work? He will hammer away at a rock for perhaps a 100 times without a crack showing in it. Then, on the 101st blow, it will split in two. It is not that blow alone which accomplished the result, but the 100 others that went before as well.

20.
If your efforts are sometimes greeted with indifference, don't lose heart. The sun puts on a wonderful show at daybreak, yet most of the people in the audience go on sleeping.
Teixeira, Ada

21.
I want you to start a crusade in you life -- to dare to be your best.
Danforth, William

Barfield, Jesse

23.
The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. [Ecclesiastes 9:11]
Bible

24.
Swing hard, in case they throw the ball where you're swinging.
Snider, Duke

25.
It is not the truth that a man possesses, or believes that he possesses, but the earnest effort which he puts forward to reach the truth, which constitutes the worth of a man. For it is not by the possession, but the search after truth that he enlarges his power, wherein alone consists his ever-increasing perfection.
Lessing, Gotthold

One may go a long way after one is tired.

They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different- to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses.
Fischer, John

42.
The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence, but you still have to mow it.

43.
I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.
Rockefeller, John D.

44.
I want to be remembered as the guy who gave his all whenever he was on the field.
Payton, Walter

Everyone confesses in the abstract that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us all; but practically most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do.
