Industry

In a word, I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reason why I am always well.

I believe in hard work.  It keeps the wrinkles out of the mind and the spirit.  It helps to keep a woman going.

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.

The communal life of human beings had . . . a two-fold foundation: the compulsion to work, which was created by external necessity, and the power of love.

The cure for anything is salt-water -- sweat, tears, or the sea.

You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

From the cowardice that dare not face new truth,
From the laziness that is contented with half truth,
From the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
Good Lord, deliver us.

He that lives upon hope will die fasting.

Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned.

The method of the enterprising is to plan with audacity and execute with vigor.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

One starts an action simply because one must do something.

I'm a great believer in luck, and I find that the harder I work, the more I have of it.

Determine never to be idle...It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
