Matt Barnes Quotes

There's no such thing as an overnight success. It took me a long to get there.

Great success doesn't come in short periods of time.

Hard work most often leads to success, but it's not every day, and it's not every week. It will pay off at different times over the course of your career.

Some wonderful things have taken 10 years to make.

I know that the hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.

You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.

It takes 20 years to make an overnight success.

A minute's success pays the failure of years.

Everyone else trains just as hard as well and that there really is no such a thing as overnight success.

Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work.

The secret of success lies in that old word, 'Drudgery,' in doing one thing long after it ceases to be amusing; and it is 'this one thing I do' that gathers me together from my chaos, that concentrates me from possibilities to powers, and turns powers into achievements.

One bit of advice I can give people is to remember that anything worthwhile takes a long time.

If you look at my career, it's been nothing but consistency.

That's what people don't understand: whatever you do in life, you have to be consistent at it because that's when you'll reap the rewards from it.

You don't achieve success by "taking it easy" or "working on it later." You achieve it thru persistence and hard work.

Timing, perseverance, and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an overnight success.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

The common denominator for success is work.

Talent without work is useless, thank God

I've learned over the years that when it comes to success, consistency is key. Consistent hard work that we may not like doing today, but for a payoff we'll love tomorrow. Earn it. Enjoy it.
