I am a very lucky person, and the harder I work, the luckier I seem to be.

Alan MacDiarmid

I grew up in New England. I think I was brought up with the Puritan ethic: that if you worked really hard in life, then good would come to you. The harder you work, the luckier you get. I've come to believe that it's the smarter you work, the better.

Ken Blanchard

I've always resented the smug statements of politicians, media commentators, corporate executives who talked of how, in America, if you worked hard you would become rich. The meaning of that was if you were poor it was because you hadn't worked hard enough. I knew this was a lite, about my father and millions of others, men and women who worked harder than anyone, harder than financiers and politicians, harder than anybody if you accept that when you work at an unpleasant job that makes it very hard work indeed.

Howard Zinn

Nothing replaces hard work. The harder you work, the luckier you get.

Ed Schultz

The harder you work, the luckier you are, and I worked like hell.

Gerald R. Ford

The harder I prepare, the luckier I seem to get.

Michael Jordan

My parents worked very hard for everything that they got. Their parents worked hard. It's just something that is passed down to you, and whatever you want to accomplish, you have to work hard to get it, and that's always been that mentality that my family has, and I think that's something that was passed on to me.

Clint Dempsey

I've been very lucky with having a run of working with very special people and it just makes you work harder.

Dervla Kirwan

The harder you work the luckier you get.

Kim Reynolds

The harder you work, the luckier you get.

Gary Player

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Roberto Firmino

I do believe the harder you work, the luckier you get.

Richard Branson

When I turned professional, what I was really aiming for was to be in the top 100, try to hold the top 100 for ten years, and just be in the show, and have a nice career. It's more than I could have ever hoped for. I worked awfully hard for it, but there are other people who worked just as hard and didn't get the breaks. I recognized that I've been lucky and being able to live this life that I wanted since a young age. I really went after it with everything that I have and somehow it worked out.

Jim Courier

Once a musician has enough ability to get into a top music school, the thing that distinguishes one performer from another is how hard he or she works. That's it. And what's more, the people at the very top don't work just harder or even much harder than everyone else. They work much, much harder.
