Work
- I'm extremely ambitious. I don't know why people are afraid to say that. I won't sell my soul to the devil, but I do want success and I don't think that's bad.
- If you get up early, work late, and pay your taxes, you will get ahead–if you strike oil.
- There are thousands and thousands of people out there leading lives of quiet, screaming desperation, where they work long, hard hours at jobs they hate to enable them to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like.
- Success is a function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard for 22 minutes to make sense of something that most people would give up on after 30 seconds.
- The old jobs aren’t coming back, but there is another way to address the crisis brought about by deindustrialization: Pay all workers better.
- Papi, look at where you are. Look at where you came from. Nobody’s shooting at you. Nobody’s trying to kill you. They pay you to play a kid’s game.
- The modern sailor is a whole different game. Younger guys are used to ordering things online. It’s not as important to get the love letter from home as it is to get something that he’s ordered.
- I didn't take the job for adulation. We had tremendous responsibilities to try to address these terrible risks.
- To every woman who gave birth to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation: we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all, and to fight for equal rights for women in America.
- We tell our students...if you get lucky, you better be ready.
- The most important thing to know as a staffer: please let the secret service know before you shoot off the confetti cannons.
- Dream big, but focus small on those day-to-day things that will get you to your goal.
