I was taught to believe, "If you work hard, you will be successful. If you are not successful, it is because you didn't work hard enough."

Neal Gabler

Women in our generation, we were taught we can be and do anything as long as we work hard. But you can't work hard enough for two people.

Stephanie Klein

To be successful, you need to really work hard. And every study in the last 50 years says that successful people say, "I am not smarter than anybody else. I just want to work harder and longer."

Brian Tracy

I always thought if you worked hard enough and tried hard enough, things would work out. I was wrong.

Katharine Graham

I don't know the definition of a star; I am just an actor. I prefer doing hard work, as I feel luck can't do much in absence of hard work. I am a lazy person - when I entered into this industry, I thought it was a cakewalk, but I have realised it needs a lot of patience and hard work.

Emraan Hashmi

I think to be successful you have to work really hard but you also have to have a little bit of luck.

Tom Petty

I'm just living my life. I'm incredibly disciplined and I work incredibly hard. I show up for things on time, I do my homework, and I work my ass off. I've had a lot of luck, but I work really, really hard.

Anna Paquin

You've got to work hard and have luck. Luck only enters in if you do work hard.

I have not cared for money, and I enjoy working. Money comes my way. People work hard so they get enough money. Or they work hard so they don't have to work hard later in life. But though I don't need money, I still work hard because I like what I am doing.

Manoj Bhargava

Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best. We do the hard thing, and one day we succeed, and many things are made plain to us.

Maude Adams

Sometimes, as actors, if we work hard enough and stay at it long enough and are malleable and directable, then good things can come of that.

Peter Scolari

Most startups are not nearly focussed enough. They work hard...maybe, but they don't work hard on the right things.

Sam Altman

You should pursue your passion. If you're passionate about something and you work hard, then I think you'll be successful. If you start a business because you think you're going to make a lot of money at it, then you probably won't be successful, because that's the wrong reason to start a business. You have to really believe in what you're doing, be passionate enough about it so that you will put in the hours and hard work that it takes to actually succeed there, and then you'll be successful.

Pierre Omidyar

I guarantee the people who study are going to be successful. Nothing can replace hard work.

Freeman A. Hrabowski III

I believe that we all have a responsibility to give back. No one becomes successful without lots of hard work, support from others, and a little luck. Giving back creates a virtuous cycle that makes everyone more successful.
