I’m lucky to work in the most perfect of conditions.

In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.

With colleagues in the work environment, we fail to see the source of their envy or the reason for their manipulations; our attempts at influencing them are based on the assumptions that they want the same things as ourselves.

If you don’t let people flourish in their jobs, why are they going to stay?

On a career level, I always advise people to look ahead and be open to changes in direction. That job that seems so good now can easily turn into a nightmare if you do not see the possible corners it can land you in.

I 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.

I’m one of the luckiest people on earth.

The glory of being a carrier pilot has certainly worn off.

Find a job you like and you add five days to every week.

The answer to the problem of inequality is for the people who are fortunate enough to either have been gifted or deserved more to do everything they can to make the communities around them as strong as they possibly can.

There has to be something in every role that interests you.

Successful and fortunate crime is called virtue.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

Whenever things go a bit sour in a job I’m doing, I always tell myself, ‚You can do better than this.‘

If my films make one more person miserable, I’ll feel I have done my job.

The man with the best job in the country is the vice-president. All he has to do is get up every morning and say, ‚How is the president?‘

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

I’ve been fortunate. I don’t pick scripts. Scripts pick me.

I bear a charmed life.

I’m in a rare position where I don’t have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.

I like to work.

I’ve been really, really fortunate.

I have the greatest job in the world. I get paid loads of cash for beating the crap out of people. And I’m very good at it.

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.

Professional farmworkers who know how to do a number of different jobs, whether it be pruning or picking or crafting, they see themselves as professionals, and they take a lot of pride in that work. They don’t see themselves as doing work that is demeaning.

I’ve been really fortunate in that I guess I was hired to do ‚A Cook’s Tour;‘ I was already a known quantity, meaning I had written a really obnoxious book and nobody expected me to be anyone that I wasn’t already.

Be extra careful in the work environment with those who like to maintain their position through charm and being political, rather than getting things done. They are very prone to envying and hating those who work hard and get results. They will slander and sabotage you without any warning.

The pay is good and I can walk to work.

All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.

Although I don’t have a prescription for what others should do, I know I have been very fortunate and feel a responsibility to give back to society in a very significant way.

I’ve been fortunate to have had the life I had prior to Hollywood. I wasn’t starving; I was going to eat the next day.

If you’re working for a good company and you’re happy there, and you’re being compensated accordingly, and your work satisfies you, you should stay there.

A lot of people don’t enjoy their jobs, and it’s one of the main things we like to complain about.

I’ve been very fortunate.

Work is making a living out of being bored.

I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.

Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.

I don’t want to wake up and be bored. That’s probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I’ve been on for a long time and had success with? I don’t plan on giving it up any time soon.

I’m lucky because I do get to fly first-class now.

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we’re both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.
