Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.

J. Paul Getty

The secret of success is to get up early, work late and strike oil.

John D. Rockefeller

Rockefeller once explained the secret of success. 'Get up early, work late - and strike oil.'

Joey Adams

If you get up early, work late, and pay your taxes, you will get ahead -- if you strike oil.

J. Paul Getty

There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike, got to be a Superman to survive.

Ray Davies

Early in my career, I wasn't good in the strike zone early. I was good in the strike zone late, which is not a good thing.

Jake Arrieta

I think it's a great handicap to be discovered at an early age. I didn't have that burden of early success. I had the much more livable and durable career where success comes late, and comes slowly, and you ease into it. So by the time it comes, you're ready to deal with it.

Philip Glass

J. Oswald Sanders

I completely work on the basis of my intuition. I don't think I premeditate a success formula. There is no formula to make a successful film.

Rajkumar Hirani

I used to smoke marijuana. But I'll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . But never at dusk!

Steve Martin

Rise early. Write. Disappoint your sons. Read the newspaper. Go to bed early. Success.

Arthur Miller

I counsel our children to do their critical studying in the early hours of the morning when they're fresh and alert, rather than to fight physical weariness and mental exhaustion at night. I've learned the power of the dictum, "Early to bed, early to rise." When I'm under pressure, you won't find me burning the midnight oil. I'd much rather be in bed early and getting up in the wee hours of the morning.

Boyd K. Packer

Whether I retire to bed early or late, I rise with the sun.

Thomas Jefferson

Early, as well as late, Rise with the sun, and set in the same bowers

Henry Vaughan

The question is not whether the formula for success will work, but rather whether the person will work the formula.

Jim Rohn

Asia is rising economically - and is thirsty for oil. The price pressures on oil and oil price shocks, due to Asia's economic rise, mean that all steps made now to reduce oil dependence will protect us from pain and volatility later.
