When people are successful, they usually become lazy.
I wish I was more industrious, but I don't necessarily have that drive.
I'm different than another person who wants to lay back and do nothing for rest of the life and talk nonsense on ESPN... I will not do that. I want to achieve something else.
In Britain, it's almost as if we're ashamed of having ambition and drive.
Ambition is not what a man would do, but what a man does, for ambition without action is fantasy.
An energetic man will succeed where an indolent one would vegetate and inevitably perish.
Whitney Cummings is one of the hardest working people I know, and she's very motivated.
I'm just a really hardworking person.
You can't just become complacent or lazy, or then the decline happens.
You've got to be the hardest-working guy.
The only time a lazy man ever succeeds is when he tries to do nothing.
I'm pretty lazy. My wife always says, "you're the laziest, most successful Olympian I've ever seen." How does that make sense? Honestly, if I have downtime, I'm really, really good at not doing anything.
Better to work and fail than to sleep one's life away.
I worked hard. I worked late. I went in early. I did everything I could to gain an advantage.
Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst.
Make each day count by setting specific goals to succeed, then putting forth every effort to exceed your own expectations.
There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen.
I didn't work hard to sit down and not work.
If I'm not working on something, I'm eager to work on something because it's so gratifying.
And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working.
People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.
I like to work. I don't like to have lulls. I feel like it makes me lazy and uncreative, and that's when your ideas become stagnant.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and will power to develop themselves.
I guess maybe another gift I have is a great work ethic.
In reality, nobody gets successful in America by being lazy.
