“With intellectual labor your hard work is forever, while with manual labor your hard work is temporary and soon forgotten.”

“Employment: I’ll trade my time and labor for your money. So time is not money, because money is time plus labor. I spend my time saving money, I spend my money saving time, and I labor hard to not labor hard.”

“I have two problems with hard labor: hard and labor. I prefer soft, and I’d prefer not giving birth.”

“Remember your ancestors, dream of your descendants and work hard while you're living.”

“Work hard or don’t work hard, either way your hair will turn gray. I should let you be alone while you die, slowly.”

“Never, however, do I take shortcuts. There is not path of least resistance in my training. What I do equates to hard manual labor, disciplined grunt work. Once you permit yourself to compromise, you fail yourself. You might be able to fool some people, but you can never fool yourself. Your toughest critic is the one you face every morning in the mirror.”
