“Results always speak for themselves, always do your best to put in the work.”

“Always do your very best. Even when no one else is looking, you always are. Don't disappoint yourself.”

“Do not put your work off till to-morrow and the day after; for a sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor one who puts off his work: industry makes work go well, but a man who puts off work is always at hand-grips with ruin.”

“Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.”

“I had work to be getting on with. I’ve always had work to be getting on with. It’s what the universe was put there for: to give me things to do.”

“All directors always try to do their best. The kind of movie on which they are working does not matter. Directors are limited by the size of the production budget and the amount of time that they have to shoot a film, but they always try to do their best within those constraints.”

“First time directors - they may not make good movies all the time but they are always the best directors to work for because they’re always so excited, always so committed to what they’re trying to do.”

“Always give your best and try to figure out how to do an even better job.”

“Your phrase: 'I am working hard at growing old', is absolutely me. What if you were always to speak in my place..”

“Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.”
