After two years of hard work and debate, Congress has passed a highway bill that will help fuel our economy by creating roughly 500,000 new jobs, as well as address many critical transportation needs in Ohio and the 18th Congressional District.

John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.
Barack Obama, American President (1961-  )
That made me feel very disturbed, because it never seemed to be about how much hard work was involved. Ever. It was about... 'hazel eyes'. It does help if you can brush that stuff off.
Julia Ormond, British Actress (1965-  )

Pope Paul VI, Italian Clergyman (1897-1978)
Success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion, and cannot be achieved except by a dint of hard work.

I do not believe in excuses. I believe in hard work as the prime solvent of life's problems.

Reading a novel in which all characters illustrate patience, hard work, chastity, and delayed gratification could be a pretty dull experience.
Thomas Perry, German Musician (1963-  )
Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.
Michael Pitt, American Actor (1981-  )
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
Colin Powell, American Statesman (1937-  )
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
Colin Powell, American Statesman (1937-  )

Colin Powell, American Statesman (1937-  )

Susan Powter, American Celebrity (1957-  )
The trouble with opportunity is that it always comes disguised as hard work.
