If I am a cup maker I'm interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup not what people think about it.

As a mom I know it is my responsibility and no one else's to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.

An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame.

The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best but what is easily within our power and suited for our temperament and condition.

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.

Achievement is not always success while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.

The best effort of a fine person is felt after we have left their presence.

I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat.

My idea of beauty is somebody that doesn't have to try too much someone who is effortless and fresh.

Because if one is writing novels today concentrating on the beauty of the prose is right up there with concentrating on your semi-colons for wasted effort.

We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given to us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it.

If you can attribute your success entirely to your own mental effort to your own attitude to some spiritual essence that you have that is better than other people's then that must feel pretty good.

If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.

Great effort springs naturally from great attitude.

It has taken me years of struggle hard work and research to learn to make one simple gesture and I know enough about the art of writing to realize that it would take as many years of concentrated effort to write one simple beautiful sentence.

All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order order in yourself. There is much chaos in me much chaos in our time.

Evil is done without effort naturally it is the working of fate good is always the product of an art.

The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence to recreate it in the eternal.

Evil is committed without effort naturally fatally goodness is always the product of some art.

Art is man's constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him.

I am a walking piece of art every day with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.

Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding.
