Effort is only effort when it begins to hurt.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win -- if you don't you won t.
Jenner, Bruce

10.
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

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

Bernstein, Al

Taft, Robert A.

19.
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.
Lerner, Max

20.
When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.
Suzuki, Shunryu

Dumas, Alexandre

22.
If someone had told me I would be pope one day, I would have studied harder.
Pope John I

23.
Doing your own thing is a generous act. Being gifted creates obligations, which means you owe the world your best effort at the work you love. You too are a natural resource.
Sher, Barbara

24.
Racing takes everything you've got -- intellectually, emotionally, physically -- and then you have to find about ten percent more and use that too.
Guthrie, Janet

25.
If a man has done his best, what else is there?
Patton, George S.

26.
I don't believe people die from hard work. They die from stress and worry and fear -- the negative emotions. Those are the killers, not hard work. The fact is, in our society today, most people don't understand what hard work is all about.
Williams, A.L.

27.
If you torture data long enough, it will tell you anything you want !

There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.
Roosevelt, Theodore

29.
Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.
Bird, Larry

30.
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

31.
Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
Browning, Robert

32.
Much effort, much prosperity.
Euripides

33.
The healthiest competition occurs when average people win by putting above average effort.
Powell, Colin

34.
It is vain to do with more what can be done with less.
Occam, William Of

35.
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

36.
Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself.
Mcgee, Frank

37.
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

38.
Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.
Hill, Napoleon

Roosevelt, Eleanor

46.
The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. 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

47.
Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.
Garfield, James A.

48.
But the effort, the effort! And as the marrow is eaten out of a man's bones and the soul out of his belly, contending with the strange rapacity of savage life, the lower stage of creation, he cannot make the effort any more.
Lawrence, D. H.

49.
In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside.
Kennedy, John F.

50.
The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.
