Jean-Bertrand AristideIf you don't deliver, you don't earn the flexibility [on work-life balance]
Jack WelchIf A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
Albert EinsteinIf Roman Abramovich helped me out in training we would be bottom of the league and if I had to work in his world of big business, we would be bankrupt!
Jose MourinhoHave thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
Charles KingsleyEvery great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.
Ty CobbInstead of asking - 'How much damage will the work in question bring about?' why not ask - 'How much good? How much joy?'
Henry Miller'The people who worked at the clubs just assumed I was a tag along girlfriend or groupie. I'd get up on stage and the audience was just like, 'Show me your tits!' I had nothing to show anyway!'
Gwen StefaniIf you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place
Orison Swett Marden'Charm' - which means the power to effect work without employing brute force - is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.
Havelock EllisOnly if I was the boss [when asked if she would work in an office again]
Janet EllisLife is really easy in Rio. Everybody works until four and then goes to the beach.
Fernanda MottaMy grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.
Indira GandhiIt's a huge move for me to be going solo, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. It's also quite nerve-racking having been surrounded by six friends for four years, but I love the new single and other material I've been working on and we're all very supportive of each other.
Rachel StevensI don't believe in dying. It's been done. I'm working on a new exit. Besides, I can't die now - I'm booked.
George BurnsJust as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.
Igor StravinskyA bachelor is a man who comes to work each morning from a different direction.
Sholom AleichemThe more we pour the big machines, the fuel, the pesticides, the herbicides, the fertilizer and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place.
David BrowerEvery night I vow to work out in the morning. For the past three years, however, I have always found an excuse not to.
Matthew VaughnThe one thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and one's self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous.
Margot Fonteyn'Six months before he died, my grand-father came to Australia to try to explain to me that he was dying. I was a young kid, very much into myself at the time. I was busking on the streets just to make enough money to pay my rent, There was this Japanese restaurant I'd always wanted to eat at but couldn't afford, so I suggested we go there.' It was an unfortunate choice. In Weans' weakened condition, the smell of the rice and soya sauce brought back memories of the Second World War. 'We couldn't have the talk he wanted to,' says Crowe.
'The day he died, I was in the kitchen of a flat in Woollarah, (an eastern suburb of Sydney). 'Suddenly a kookaburra bird flew in the window. It just looked at me. I knew my grandfather had died. I phoned home and my mother confirmed it. 'I insisted the bird was my grandfather's spirit, but my mom would have nothing of it.'
One day last year, Crowe had a dream in which he was holding his mother and she was crying. He phoned home immediately.
'My mother said a woman who had worked closely with my grandfather had come to visit and, without prompting, had told her that on the day my grandfather died a bird had visited her as well. 'Learning this had reduced my mother to tears.'
Crowe says he believes that 'with all this talk of angels, maybe they are just birds sent to us by those who have crossed over.' Tuesday, March 14, 2000
Russell CroweNo man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.

Naomi CampbellI'm on the road ten days a month, that's my workout.
Bryan AdamsHaving lots of people talking highly of you and respecting your art and your work, this is one of the best feelings that you can have.
Peter GabrielObstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Michael JordanHey, I don't produce my shows, I just show up to work!
Ricki LakePreparation is the be-all of good trial work. Everything else-felicity of expression, improvisational brilliance-is a satellite around the sun. Thorough preparation is that sun.
Louis NizerWomen want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.
Margaret MeadThe work of many of the greatest men, inspired by duty, has been done amidst suffering and trial and difficulty. They have struggled against the tide, and reached the shore exhausted.
Samuel SmilesJonny's had his problems [with injury] but he's been really determined and worked through them.
Shelley JenkinsIt's a nervous work. The state that you need to write is the state that others are paying large sums to get rid of.
Shirley HazzardI came fifth in Helsinki, which is gold if you remove all the American and non-European athletes. [Nice try Tim but that's not how it works!]
Tim BenjaminWork is the order of the day, just as it was at one time, with our first starts and our best efforts. Do you remember? Therein lies its delight. It brings back the forgotten; one's stores of energy, seemingly exhausted, come back to life.
Boris PasternakWhat we call creative work, ought not to be called work at all, because it isn't. I imagine that Thomas Edison never did a day's work in his last fifty years.
Stephen Butler LeacockI am pleased with the way we played. The back three, with the way they worked off the ball, were tremendous. [on England finally winning a game in 2005 6 Nations]

Eli SiegelGod is working His purpose out as year succeeds to year,
Gid os working His purpose out and the time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. [Hymn]

Bible'I don't have a nanny or a housekeeper, and I only have a cleaner for one hour each week. I finish work and go home. I cook the dinner. I run into Tesco and do the housework in the evening.'
Victoria BeckhamI tried but every time I worked out I threw up, and I thought to myself that you can get drunk and throw up, so it's just not for me, I'd rather smoke, drink Diet Cokes and eat.
John DalyThe new All Saints sound just sounds like us. They must have looked at what's working at the minute and thought 'We'll go that way'.
Cheryl ColeAll British people have plain names, and that works pretty well over there. [Hmm... tell us about 'work' Paris]
