Emile Zola "The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work." Margaret Thatcher "Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it." Marvin Phillips "The difference between try and triumph is a little umph." Coleman Cox "I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem to have." Quincy Jones "The people who make it to the top - whether they're musicians, or great chefs, or corporate honchos - are addicted to their calling... they are the ones who'd be doing whatever it is they love, even if they weren't being paid." |
