I don't want to be one of those guys that you see who made $4 million, invested $3.5 million, and now you work at Wendy's.
— Wale
There is a very deep conviction in the heart of the people who work in al-Jazeera that if it changes its editorial line, it will very quickly lose its audience. Al-Jazeera has its own style; it has more than 3,500 employees, and I don't think anyone will have the attitude of changing it because they will lose.
— Wadah Khanfar
It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.
— W. Somerset Maugham
All works of art are commissioned in the sense that no artist can create one by a simple act of will but must wait until what he believes to be a good idea for a work comes to him.
— W. H. Auden
The average American worker has fifty interruptions a day, of which seventy percent have nothing to do with work.
— W. Edwards Deming
That's the cool thing, when I get to work with people I love. The biggest has probably been Kris Kristofferson on 'Bloodworth.'
— W. Earl Brown
These are the things of which men think, who live: of their own selves and the dwelling place of their fathers; of their neighbors; of work and service; of rule and reason and women and children; of Beauty and Death and War.
— W. E. B. Du Bois
Education must not simply teach work - it must teach Life.
I've always thought that I'd make a pretty good police officer, except maybe for the danger part. I have a rare medical condition that makes it difficult for me to risk getting shot, so probably I'd have to be one of those officers who work in 'do not shoot' areas.
— W. Bruce Cameron
We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest.
— Voltaire
The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say; but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work.
We'll surely stop the work of all western Christian and eastern religions, and also Islam.
— Vladimir Zhirinovsky
A figure who receives money from abroad for his political work, and thus serves some foreign interest, cannot be a politician in Russia.
— Vladimir Putin
Everybody starts with creating or acquiring certain property in order to create the material to work with. When we started our business, we thought first of all about development, how to grow, and we managed to do this, even with all the difficulties and all the difficult rules that were implemented in Russia at that time.
— Vladimir Potanin
I love designing at the moment, I'm so happy with my work.
— Vivienne Westwood
In contrast to how tech firms want to disrupt and break things - developing drugs must be incremental and step-by-step. This is the kind of work that involves people putting their lives on the line every day with clinical trials.
— Vivek Ramaswamy
I just want to do films that I like and to enjoy my work.
— Vivek Oberoi
I believe that modern slavery is the most outrageous assault on the rights of an individual. It is something that touches me deeply because I grew up in rural Brazil and could see first-hand how poverty forced people to work in harsh, exploitative conditions.
— Wagner Moura
For me, Islam is a moral reference point, a source of inspiration to work collectively with people, to love people and to help them, to concentrate on universal values of mercy, co-operation and tolerance.
Most writers are unhappy with film adaptations of their work, and rightly so. 'Field of Dreams,' however, caught the spirit and essence of 'Shoeless Joe' while making the necessary changes to make the work more visual.
— W. P. Kinsella
A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday. Not because he likes it but because he can't think of anything else to do.
Quality is everyone's responsibility.
Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools - intelligence, broad sympathy, knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it - this is the curriculum of that Higher Education which must underlie true life.
Education and work are the levers to uplift a people.
A little less complaint and whining, and a little more dogged work and manly striving, would do us more credit than a thousand civil rights bills.
Your neighbors will be envious of your 3D printer - and if they're not, just print new neighbors. Design them so they'll like to bring you pies, maybe, or want to do your yard work for you.
Let us work without theorizing, tis the only way to make life endurable.
I don't think diets work - when you stop, you just put the weight back on.
— Vogue Williams
We'll limit in all ways the work of religious faiths which are foreign to us.
The state security bodies should not be seen as an institution that works against society and the state; one needs to understand what makes them work against their own people.
Happy is the novelist who manages to preserve an actual love letter that he received when he was young within a work of fiction, embedded in it like a clean bullet in flabby flesh and quite secure there, among spurious lives.
— Vladimir Nabokov
I think some people would love to be able to make the clothes I make - and of course, I do influence them, but they keep simplifying, and minimalism doesn't quite work.
I don't usually talk about the social work I do because I don't do it for publicity. If I can bring a smile to the face of a few children in this one lifetime, I'd be happy.
I've had the privilege to work with fantastic directors - Ram Gopal Varma, Mani Ratnam, Inder Kumar, to name a few.
I'm married to an American. I work for a company that is, you know, its headquarters in the U.S.
— Wael Ghonim
When I first started, I worked with my father, Alex 'Little Bill' Wallace; he was a guitarist like B.B. King. I was around 13 when I started, and I learned a lot by looking and listening. I learned how to be a bandleader from watching that band work.
— Wadada Leo Smith
However careful a tramp may be to avoid places where there is abundant work, he cannot always succeed.
— W. H. Davies
Quality is pride of workmanship.
All anyone asks for is a chance to work with pride.
For fifteen years, I was a teacher of youth. They were years out of the fullness and bloom of my younger manhood. They were years mingled of half breathless work, of anxious self-questionings, of planning and replanning, of disillusion, or mounting wonder.
From the very first, it has been the educated and intelligent of the Negro people that have led and elevated the mass, and the sole obstacles that nullified and retarded their efforts were slavery and race prejudice; for what is slavery but the legalized survival of the unfit and the nullification of the work of natural internal leadership?
When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.
— W. Clement Stone
The crazy thing is I got all of these shoes, and probably 80 percent of them I've never worn before. I've worn all the glasses. I sleep in them, bend them up a little bit. Glasses are on all the time except when I'm at practice or at work.
— Von Miller
It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.
I work out a lot at the gym, probably five or six days a week, even when I'm on holiday.
I am never guided by a possible assessment of my work.
Journalism, as concerns collecting information, differs little if at all from intelligence work. In my judgment, a journalist's job is very interesting.
A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.
Life is too short to work so hard.
— Vivien Leigh
I'd work with anyone that the script requires me to. I'd never let my personal biases rule my judgement.
