These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched you are enormously fragile.

I am not a perfect servant. I am a public servant doing my best against the odds. As I develop and serve be patient. God is not finished with me yet.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball or the theater or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice and then going away and doing the exact opposite.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.

Cynical realism is the intelligent man's best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation.

We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed we're getting back to basics and doing what America has always done best: We're making things again.

In fact the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code. This will be a tough job but members of both parties have expressed an interest in doing this and I am prepared to join them.

My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment.

Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.

If you believe in what you are doing then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.

If you're doing your best you won't have any time to worry about failure.

Honestly I'd love to be remembered as one of the best to ever pick up a mic but if I'm doing my part to lessen some racial tension I feel good about what I'm doing.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
