Robert G. Ingersoll Quotes

Labor is the only prayer that Nature answers: It is the only prayer that deserves an answer—good, honest, noble work.

God helps those who work, not those who are idle. No one helps an inactive person, but one who joins in the labor. The good God himself will bring...work to perfection.

Without labor nothing prospers.

He who labours not, cannot enjoy the reward of labour.

He who is idle shall not eat the bread nor wear the garments of the laborer

Necessity is always the first stimulus to industry, and those who conduct it with prudence, perseverance and energy will rarely fail. Viewed in this light, the necessity of labor is not a chastisement, but a blessing,--the very root and spring of all that we call progress in individuals and civilization in nations.

It doesn't take talent to work hard.

If you work hard, you have a better chance of producing something that you're proud of. If you don't, you won't. It's really simple.

He who labors diligently need never despair.

When you work hard, good things happen

Whatever you do, if you do it hard enough you'll enjoy it. The important thing is to work and work hard.

Life gives nothing to man without labor.

Labour is the source of every blessing.

Any reward that is worth having only comes to the industrious. The success which is made in any walk of life is measured almost exactly by the amount of hard work that is put into it.

We may explain success mainly by one word and that word is WORK! WORK!! WORK!!! WORK!!!!

Nothing can substitute for just plain hard work

There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements. Most of us are inherently lazy. We would rather play than work. We would rather loaf than work...But it is work that spells the difference in the life of a man or woman. It is stretching our minds and utilizing the skills of our hands that lift us from mediocrity.

Nothing is denied to well-directed labor.

There is no substitute for work.

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

I know of no genius but the genius of hard work.

Honest labor bears a lovely face.

It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.

He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.
