If your child sees you giving up on your goals after minimal effort is applied, simply because it’s just too hard, you can’t be bothered or you’ve changed your mind, then what sort of example are you setting? If you want your child to be a success, show them what’s possible.

If you put in little effort and expect big returns, you will be deeply disappointed. You don’t get apples by planting lemon seeds.

I never blame failure – there are too many complicated situations in life – but I am absolutely merciless toward lack of effort.

I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you’re a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you’ll win – if you don’t, you won’t.

I learned from a very young age that no one owes you anything and nobody’s gonna give you a damn thing. But you can have anything you want if you work hard enough for it.

When you’ve got something to prove, there’s nothing greater than a challenge.

When you work smart, you select a tiny set of priorities and make huge efforts in those chosen areas (what I call the work scope practice). You focus on creating value, not just reaching preset goals (targeting). You eschew mindless repetition in favor of better skills practice (quality learning). You seek roles that match your passion with a strong sense of purpose (inner motivation).

The perception that luck plays in a lot of aspects of life is the erosion of what effort it takes to move the yardsticks forward.

The only thing that has kept me around is my effort.

If you want to be in my future, make an effort to be a part of my present, or all you will ever be is someone from my past.

There is a direct relationship between joy and effort. The joy of success is in ratio to the amount of effort expended to achieve it.

The relationship of husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

The most important thing in a relationship is not what you get but what you give.

The minute you start keeping score, you’re destroying the relationship.

Relationships fail because people take their own insecurities and try and twist them into their partner’s flaws.

Relationships are a two-way street, not a highway and a bike path.

People put so much effort into starting a relationship and so little effort into ending one.

No relationship works without making an effort. That goes without saying. But you should never overcompensate.

In today’s world, options are everywhere. It takes a great effort to stay faithful, continue to honor your commitment, and do the work it takes to keep your relationship strong.

In a relationship, no amount of extra effort on your part can make up for a lack of effort on theirs.

If you’re always the one putting in less effort then don’t expect the relationship to last.

If people put in the same effort to keep you as they did to get you, most relationships would last.

I think to make any relationship work it just takes a tremendous amount of effort and accepting of one another.

Apologizing does not mean that you’re wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

A true relationship is two imperfect people refusing to give up on each other.

A great relationship is about two things: First, appreciating the similarities and second, respecting the differences.

People that have grit are extraordinarily resilient and are willing to put in the effort to get things done.

Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.

We expect professional and financial success to require time and effort. Why do we take success in our relationships for granted? Why should we expect harmony to come naturally just because we are in love?

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Love is what is left in a relationship after all the selfishness is taken out.

Falling in love, finding your way into a new relationship is one of the best feelings in life. At first it’s all so effortless. But as time goes by, remember that love is a verb and that you have to put continuous effort into it to keep it blossoming and not slowly wither.

All relationships have one law. Never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you’re there.

People stand in front of an officiant and say ‘I do’ but that shouldn’t mean ‘I’m done’ when it comes to putting time and effort into growing their relationship.

If you put the time and effort into a relationship, it will last forever.

If you let her know that she is your priority and remind her from time to time how much you in fact care, you’ll be amazed at how many problems disappear in your relationship.

The right person will pursue you with clear intentions, have upfront communication, consistent effort, and never would lead you on.

When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.

You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself

They indeed are fools who are satisfied with the fruits of their past effort and do not engage themselves in self-effort now.

There’s nothing like biting off more than you can chew, and then chewing anyway.

The only thing in your control is effort. That’s all, and that’s everything.

Whatever we accomplish is due to the combined effort.

Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.

Men are made stronger on realization that the helping hand they need is at the end of their own arm.

Make every effort matter, and always make the following effort better than the last one.

Life can be boring unless you put some effort into it.

It takes superhuman effort to focus on a task when you’re surrounded by distractions. But when you remove distractions in advance, no such effort is required: concentration flows.

It takes effort and belief to persevere and stay dedicated to accomplish your goal. When you find yourself doubting whether the effort is worth it, visualize how you will feel and what you will have once your goal is completed.

Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men and women who kept on working.

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.

If you’re making a conscious effort… someone should be meeting you on the same page.

Truth is: everybody is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

To make their learning as rewarding as possible children need to be praised for their effort and achievement.

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

In order to achieve great things, you must stretch your beliefs, your efforts, and your tolerance.

If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you.

Thinking well is wise; planning well wiser; doing well wisest and best of all.

Unless there has been irreparable damage caused, many marriages can survive and do so successfully with some effort.

Trying and getting hurt can’t possibly be worse for you than being… stuck.

If the feelings are mutual, the effort will be equal.

Try and fail, but don’t fail to try.

If someone really wanted you, they’d actually put some effort into trying to get your attention and make sacrifices for you. They wouldn’t just tell you they want you; they would show you in every little way possible that they want you.

If someone believes you are worth the effort they will make the effort.

If one has not given everything, one has given nothing.

In truth, it seems to take more effort to be stand-offish, rude, or avoid other people’s glances than it does to just smile. And, I tend to feel so much better inside of myself when I smile!

The problems we face today, violent conflicts, destruction of nature, poverty, hunger, and so on, are human-created problems which can be resolved through human effort, understanding and the development of a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share.

The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.

It takes a lot of effort to do things effortlessly.

Let’s not forget it’s you and me vs the problem. Not you vs. me.

Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to It still takes a serious commitment and honest effort for your goals to come to fruition.

Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.

There’s no reward without work, no victory without effort, no battle won without risk.

Make each day count by setting specific goals to succeed, then putting forth every effort to exceed your own expectations.

Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give you get. What you see in others exists in you.

Life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.

What you get from life will be direct proportion to what you give to life.

The only thing that ever sat its way to success was a hen.
