People that I know, the vast majority, who are successful work really, really hard. Sure, there's some people that either get lucky or inherited it or don't have to work hard for some reason, but the vast majority who are successful work really, really hard.

I've spent a lot of my life among people brighter than myself.

There are so many people working so hard and achieving so little.

You should always be well and bright, for so you do your best work; and you have so much beautiful work to do. The world needs it, and you must give it!

There are plenty of examples of people who have had busy lives out there in the world, trying to do good, and written very well at the same time.

Working hard is a great way to impact the world, to learn, to grow, to feel accomplished, and sometimes even to find happiness, but it becomes a problem when you do so at the expense of the people closest to you.

The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before.

I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That's what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that's from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.

I always believe that every one of us is working hard not only for our own performance but also to give something significant back to the societies we live in.

We have the hardest working people in the world, the most adaptable and the most congenial to employ.
