You've just got to train hard. Conditioning is key, recovery is key. As hard as you work, recovery is just as important. All the soft-tissue work daily, all the things that keep me clean. And you've always got to be aware of what you're eating, what you're putting inside your body. That's key as well.

Antonio Brown

Greatness of Soul seems therefore to be as it were a crowning ornament of the virtues; it enhances their greatness, and it cannot exist without them. Hence it is hard to be truly great-souled, for greatness of soul is impossible without moral nobility.

Aristotle

Choose to make up for what you lack in innate ability with discipline, hard work, and good habits. Become a creature of champion habits.

Darren Hardy

There are good writers and bad writers. It's hard to find writers who really speak to you, but the work is out there.

Colson Whitehead

I have a magical work in a magical way. I give magical service for magical pay.

Florence Scovel Shinn

You give anybody a billion dollars, and of course they are passionate. Passion is one of those things like willpower in that there's 'magical thinking' about it. You've got to be careful about 'magical thinking.'

Scott Adams

Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.

Og Mandino

Good habits are hard to develop but easy to live with; bad habits are easy to develop but hard to live with. The habits you have and the habits that have you will determine almost everything you achieve or fail to achieve.

Brian Tracy

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is - I will form good habits and become their slave.

Og Mandino

I read continually and don't understand writers who say they don't read while working on a book. For a start, a book takes me about two years to write, so there's no way I am depriving myself of reading during that time. Another thing is that reading other writers is continually inspiring - reading great writers reminds you how hard you have to work.

Paul Lynch

I don't ask writers about their work habits. I really don't care.

Philip Roth

At 19, you're not really thinking about the habits you have. I wasn't. Maybe your study habits? But not your life habits.

Brendon Burchard

The habits of craft, developed day in and day out over a working lifetime, create moments of astonishment, sublime and magical effects, precisely because the writer is not thinking overtly about making art.

Philip Gerard

There are so many filmmakers who are so talented, and actors and writers who work so hard, and it's really hard to let your work enter the world.

Brit Marling

Somebody said the key to life is to work hard, play hard, rest hard, and I've pretty much adopted that.

James Patterson

Indeed, the real question is not, "Why greatness?" but "What work makes you feel compelled to try to create greatness?" if you have to ask the question, "Why should we try to make it great? Isn't success enough?" then you're probably int he wrong line of work.
