Quote of the Week- Effort

The one thing that matters is the effort. It continues, whereas the end to be attained is but an illusion of the climber, as he fares on and on from crest to crest; and once the goal is reached it has no meaning. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Wisdom of the Sands, translated from French by Stuart Gilbert


I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end. ~Larry Bird


The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. ~Attributed to both Vidal Sassoon and Donald Kendall

Some people dream of success... while others wake up and work hard at it. ~Author Unknown


If a man is called a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and Earth will pause to say, Here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.


People know you for what you've done, not for what you plan to do. ~Author Unknown

Success is a ladder you cannot climb with your hands in your pockets. ~American Proverb

Many people think they want things, but they don't really have the strength, the discipline. They are weak. I believe that you get what you want if you want it badly enough. ~Sophia Loren

Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid only of standing still. ~Chinese Proverb

If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind. ~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
