I’ve played with IVs before, during and after games. I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.
Kobe BryantIt takes up enough of my time and interest just working on comedy. I just enjoy it and love doing it.
Jerry SeinfeldThe right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.
Mark TwainEight years ago, you may remember Hillary and I were rivals for the Democratic nomination. We battled for a year and a half. Let me tell you, it was tough, because Hillary was tough. I was worn out. She was doing everything I was doing, but just like Ginger Rogers, it was backwards in heels.
Barack ObamaCardi B put a lot of work in.
Nipsey HussleI’m not a fast thinker, but once I am interested in something, I am doing it for many years.
Haruki MurakamiA vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.
Mahatma GandhiI just don’t believe in the basic concept that someone should make their whole career in public service.
Dan QuayleTalent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
Stephen KingA person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body – the wishbone.
Robert FrostI get really motivated when I put on the India jersey. It is a responsibility, so I want to perform in the best way I can.
Virat KohliIrrespective of whether you have talent or not, one has to work hard. Just being talented doesn’t mean anything; you can end up wasting it before you realize.
Virat KohliMy music will go on forever. Maybe it’s a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.
Bob MarleyI take inspiration from everyone and everything. I’m inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.
Conor McGregorIf anyone remembers me, it’s about my hard work.
Sunil ChhetriI just figured out that if I gave my all into this game – if I put everything into the fight business – then I would eventually run the fight business.
Conor McGregorI was always trying – I never wanted to let my fans down; I always wanted them to see me in my art form.
Lady GagaI was 18 years old, and it was a dream come true for me to work out and eat great food for free. What else do you want in life? People think that is what it is like to be in a SEAL team, but it is less than a fraction of your career as a real SEAL.
Jocko WillinkAs a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I know that the men and women of our intelligence community put their lives on the line every day, and they do very dangerous work to keep our country safe.
Kamala HarrisWhen you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you’re doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she’s doing.
Michelle ObamaYou have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.
Brian TracyWherever the enemy wants to fight, we will follow him to the ends of the Earth. We’ll adapt, we’ll train, we’ll advise, we’ll mentor, and we’ll fight, and we’ll fight well.
Jim MattisIt is no secret that I believe my son, Attorney General Beau Biden would make a great United States Senator – just as I believe he has been a great Attorney General. But Beau has made it clear from the moment he entered public life, that any office he sought, he would earn on his own.
Joe BidenThe leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every calling, is diligence.
Abraham LincolnTo Marines, love of liberty is not an empty phrase… Rather, it’s displayed by blood, sweat, and tears for the fallen.
Jim MattisI’d have stopped writing years ago if it were for the money.
Paulo CoelhoI hate to be smart.
Paulo CoelhoIf people wonder, yes, Hillary Clinton is my friend. She has been a friend to me and Barack and Malia and Sasha, and Bill and Chelsea have been embracing and supportive from the very day my husband took the oath of office.
Michelle ObamaI have been very happy in the House of Representatives.
George H. W. BushLook, the American people are smart.
John KennedyMy focus is my art, and that’s what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I’ve turned down many things that I just didn’t believe in.
Beyonce KnowlesUnfortunately, after Sept. 11, there was an outburst in America of intense suffering and patriotism, and the Bush administration was very shrewd and effective in painting anyone who disagreed with the policies as unpatriotic or even traitorous.
Jimmy CarterIn pop music, the public usually see the results – the hit records, the Grammy Awards performances, the concert tours – but not all the work that goes into getting into the spotlight. And not everyone realizes that, even if you have a lot of talent, chances are you won’t make it.
Bruno MarsI fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Bruce LeeI want a president with a record of public service: someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase form and fortune for ourselves; we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.
Michelle ObamaTell me I have to be somewhere, and I’ll be there 20 minutes early and stay there longer than anybody else. You hold up a lot of people if you’re not on time.
Dolly PartonIt is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.
Abraham LincolnEvery night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.
LeBron JamesI like policy. It’s why I decided to enter government. The other thing I like about government – you have good days, you have bad days, but you never have a boring day, and that’s important to me.
John KennedyIt’s a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don’t have to give all, and you still win, what’s this?
Jurgen KloppI’ve had mixtapes that have been better than albums I’ve heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.
Kevin GatesI’ve always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, ‚Hi,‘ that the people ought to get their money’s worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.
Marilyn MonroeWriting is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamWhen Hillary was First Lady, we went to the Beijing Women’s Conference. She courageously stood up and spoke out on behalf of human rights and women’s rights, inspiring millions to fight for a better future.
Madeleine AlbrightMy dream is to continue filming until my body tells me to stop.
Jackie ChanSee, winners embrace hard work.
Lou HoltzWhat I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. She never takes the easy way out. And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life. And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.
Michelle ObamaIf you ask the CEO of some major corporation what he does, he will say, in all honesty, that he is slaving 20 hours a day to provide his customers with the best goods or services he can and creating the best possible working conditions for his employees.
Noam ChomskyI’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.
Kobe BryantI never took a day off in my twenties. Not one. And I’m still fanatical, but now I’m a little less fanatical.
Bill GatesIf you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.
Oscar WildeTo do anything to a high level, it has to be total obsession.
Conor McGregorWhen I do something, I do it full steam ahead.
Conor McGregorI do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
John D. RockefellerI know I have a responsibility to the fans.
Jackie ChanThere is something about building up a comradeship – that I still believe is the greatest of all feats – and sharing in the dangers with your company of peers. It’s the intense effort, the giving of everything you’ve got. It’s really a very pleasant sensation.
Edmund HillaryWorking with our military community has been the biggest honor of my life.
Michelle ObamaYou throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.
Bob UeckerFinancial freedom is available to those who learn about it and work for it.
Robert KiyosakiIt’s simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they’re done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it’s what they see. That’s where my head is at.
