“The reward of a work is to have produced it; the reward of effort is to have grown by it.”
“Determination, effort, and practice are rewarded with success.”
“Hard work is rewarding. Taking credit for other people's hard work is rewarding and faster.”
“What is precious is not the reward but the work. And I wish you to understand that. If you work and study in order to get a reward, the work will seem hard to you; but when you work, if you love the work, you will find your reward in that.”
“...the love, respect, and confidence of my children was the sweetest reward I could receive for my efforts to be the woman I would have them copy.”
“[T]hrough bitter experience I have learned that it is best to promise little and then to reward hard work with generosity.”
