“Go out into the world, find work that you love, learn from your mistakes, and work hard to make a difference.”

“If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a mistake.”

“Simply try and be good and courageous and bold and to make a difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Go out there with your passion and your electric typewriter and work hard at...something. Change lives through art maybe. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance.”

“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 foundation of your life is luck. Hard work and talent make up the difference.”

“Work hard at your job and you can make a living. Work hard on yourself and you can make a fortune.”
