Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard.

People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.

The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.

Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.

Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so.

Diplomacy is listening to what the other guy needs. Preserving your own position, but listening to the other guy. You have to develop relationships with other people so when the tough times come, you can work together.

When people go to a track meet, they're looking for something, a world record, something that hasn't been done before. You get all this magnetic energy, people focusing on one thing at the same time. I really get excited about it. It makes me want to compete even more. It makes it all worthwhile, all the hours of hard work.

The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.

Teamwork requires some sacrifice up front; people who work as a team have to put the collective needs of the group ahead of their individual interests.

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.

It's very important to like the people you work with. Otherwise, your job is going to be quite miserable.

If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.

I really like doing good work and working with good people - that's the thing that drives me.

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

If you ever think about me, and you ain't gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don't want myself on your mind if you're not going to work for the people.

I will try to work very hard not to disappoint the people of South Africa.

Unemployment insurance, abolishing child labor, the 40-hour work week, collective bargaining, strong banking regulations, deposit insurance, and job programs that put millions of people to work were all described, in one way or another, as 'socialist.' Yet, these programs have become the fabric of our nation and the foundation of the middle class.

I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.

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

People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far.

It was a privilege and an honor to work alongside Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Working with people at the top of their game was like a master class.

We treat our people like royalty. If you honor and serve the people who work for you, they will honor and serve you.
