"I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it."

"We hope President Obama will now respect the will of the people, change course, and commit to making the changes they are demanding. To the extent he is willing to do this, we are ready to work with him."

"I never had the exposure to techniques and so forth that children have today with art workshops, but I always had crayons and pencils and still have work going right back to when I was five or six years old."

"Go and get your things,' he said. 'Dreams mean work."

"It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination."

"A friend at school was always being laughed at because his father emptied dustbins for a living. But those who laughed worshipped famous footballers.

"All happiness depends on courage and work."

"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work."

"A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament."

"A critic should be taught to criticise a work of art without making any reference to the personality of the author."

"I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together."

"Even though worker capacity and motivation are destroyed when leaders choose power over productivity, it appears that bosses would rather be in control than have the organization work well."

"Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called failure."
