Philip Pullman Quotes

Whatever success people have in a field, it's a result of hard work. If you ultimately succeed in one place, you must have worked hard there or somewhere else.

No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

I've learned that anything in life worth having comes from patience and hard work.

I had to work at everything.

Hard work is the only way to success. You have to be tough, stay tough.

I have no magic formula. The only way I know to win is through hard work.

There is absolutely nothing that beats hard work.

I didn't have nothing handed to me. It's a hard, long road getting to where I'm at. And I think the fans that have been down with me for a long time, they see that. They've been seeing me clawing my way to try to get to the top.

It doesn't take talent to work hard.

He will often have to scratch his head, and bite his nails to the quick. [To succeed he will have to puzzle his brains and work hard.]

It takes sacrifice as well as talent.

I never won anything without hard labor and the exercise of my best judgment.

I think to be successful at anything you have to put in a hell of a lot of effort. Pick your battles. I picked music, put in a lot of effort, and it's worked.

You don't win by being good. You win with hard work and sacrifice. Without that, skill is just potential.

Nothing comes easy. I know that people joke all the time and try to figure out, you know, what it is that I do, but I work really hard. I get up every day at 5 a.m. and start my day. I think as long as you work really hard and figure out what you want to do and stay motivated and have a plan and stay committed - just don't be lazy. That's my best advice. It's the most simple advice, but it really worked for me. I think that for some reason, I see people that think things will come easy and it doesn't really come easy.

Patience, persistence, and power to do are only acquired by work.

Every day is a work day, and I have to work my ass off just as much as any other guy, doing whatever job they're doing. I believe in commitment and hard work, and hopefully, after that, success comes.

We aren't particularly talented. We try harder!

Luck is great, but most of life is hard work.

Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.

There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.
