Tom Hardy Quotes

My father always said, 'Do your best and piss on the rest.' And I think there's a lot of truth to that, because if you've done your best, there's not a hell of a lot more you can do about something.

I think I've learned the difference between the things I can control and the things I can't control. And hopefully, by doing the things I can control well, I'll have more favor in the other category.

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

Things are not as we would like them to be. There is only one way to deal with it, namely to try and be all right oneself.

I have to take care of myself because if you get sick, you still have to work. I'm not much a party animal, anyway. I lay low.

I'm always having to be told to brush my hair.

Life is not over because you have diabetes. Make the most of what you have, be grateful.

A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.

I just try to do what I can, control what I can, and let the rest handle itself.

My number one thing is be kind to yourself. We can't control what other people do, we can only control what we do.

I can only control what I can control, which is taking care of my business here and working hard every single day, and eventually that time will come.

I read about human psychology, practise balance, and accept that everything and everyone in our lives is transient. One day, people will criticise you, and the next day, they will praise you.

Being in this game nine years or whatever, you understand things happen. You can only control what you control, and that's on the court. You can't make front-office decisions and other stuff. You've just got to come out and do your job. You try to do it to the best of your ability.

What we can do is control what we can control.

All you can do is to do your best.

Do the best that can be done and then . . . be resigned.

One does what one can, not what one cannot.

Exile (being where we don't want to be with people we don't want to be with) forces a decision: Will I focus my attention on what is wrong with the world and feel sorry for myself? Or will I focus my energies on how I can live at my best in this place I find myself?...'I will do my best with what is here.'

Sometimes you have to learn to love what's good for you.

If a retainer will just think about what he is to do for the day at hand, he will be able to do anything. If it is a single day's work, one should be able to put up with it. Tomorrow, too is but a single day.

You do the best you can and you deal with the consequences. It's all there is.

If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.

I don't have the luxury of not going to work when I don't feel up to it. Most people don't. On those days, I acknowledge I am feeling f-cking crappy, and I'm not at my best, and I still want to or need to keep walking forward. I have to do some of my best work on my worst days. I have to look pretty even when I don't feel pretty. There's a way to hold both things.

My part of the game is that I must live the best I can.

My advice for someone who wants to be creative but has a chronic illness is to think of something that you can do as opposed to all the things you can't do - and do that. It's just like gardening: What can grow in this soil? There's some soil you can grow roses in and some soil you can only grow cactuses in, so if you can only grow cactuses, become the best cactus grower in the whole world. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. Find something that makes you happy. Don't get down on yourself that you can't run a 4K or dance all night long at a fun club. Give yourself a break.
