“Eighty percent of success is showing up.”

“It doesn't matter if people are playing jazz or writing poetry -- if they want to be successful, they need to learn how to persist and persevere, how to keep on working until the work is done. Woody Allen famously declared that "eighty percent of success is showing up." NOCCA (New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts) teaches kids how to show up again and again.”

“Did you know studies show that eighty percent of women have faked orgasm? And fifty percent admit to doing it on a regular basis?”

“I had placed a lot of faith in Woody Allen’s belief that 80 percent of success is just showing up. I said to myself: Are you serious? 80 percent? Sure, I can just show up. Here I am, New York! Give me a job!”

“Eighty-five percent of spirituality is a good night's sleep.”

“Five percent of the people think; ten percent of the people think they think; and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”
