The captains of industry do not keep on working for the sake of making money, but for the love of completing a job successfully.

Charles M. Schwab

Certainly, grades only matter so much when you're in Hollywood. But I became an utterly motivated, devoted, committed student. I was a good student because I was convinced that it would somehow help me in my quest to become a filmmaker.

Damien Chazelle

I was a bad student. I liked archaeology actually, I was interested in maybe becoming an archaeologist but I was such a bad student and had such bad grades that I wasn't going to get into any really good college so I fell back on acting.

Ben Stiller

I'm really interested in the pleasure we get from stories and the pleasure we get from movies, and certainly the pleasure we get from virtual experiences. My complaint is against empathy as a moral guide. But as a source of pleasure, it can't be beat.

Paul Bloom

He made me realize that hard work--that the act of finishing, of completing, of accomplishing a task--is joyous

Sherman Alexie

Is it any more moral to dilute the value of the purchasing power of the money you hold in your wallet than it is for the farmer to dilute the milk supply with water?

Ron Paul

I cannot say that I was a particularly diligent student, especially during the lower grades.

Koichi Tanaka

I wasn't a great student. Just give me a school with no grades, and I'll be happy.

Alison Elliott

Underestimating grades has serious consequences for a student's choice of university, and their future.

Angela Rayner

I was a very good student until about sophomore year, and that's when I just became so disillusioned with the whole thing that I just became an awful student. I was still making good grades. But I was cutting class three days a week and faking papers that I got off the internet.

Zach Condon

Girls are more academically powerful. They make the grades, they run the student activities, they are the valedictorians.

Christina Hoff Sommers

I was always a good student. I wasn't the A-plus student, but I studied really hard, and I probably had a 3.2. I always wished that I had the capacity to get straight A's, but I didn't. I didn't beat myself up about it, but I really studied hard for my grades.

Tyra Banks

To teach successfully we must tell all we know, but only what is adaptable to the student.

Jean-Francois de La Harpe

During Vietnam, I was in college, enjoying my student deferment. The government wisely felt that, in my case, military service was less important than completing my studies to prepare me for my chosen career: comedian.

Al Franken

Successfully completing a lesser purpose doesn't feel good very good for very long, because it is simply preparation for advancing toward a greater embodiment of your deeper purpose.

David Deida

I've always felt that maybe one of the reasons that I did well as a student and made such good grades was because I lacked confidence. Lacked self-confidence, and I never felt that I was prepared to take an examination, and I had to study a little bit extra. So that sort of lack of confidence helped me, I think, to make a good record when I was a student.
