I knew what my times were and how my practices were progressing and how close I was to the goals I had set for the year. I swam hard. I always swam hard. If I didn't, I knew I would pay for it either the next day or the next meet.
Chris: You're gonna be a great writer someday, Gordie. You might even write about us guys if you ever get hard-up for material. Gordie: [wiping away his tears] Guess I'd have to be pretty hard-up, huh?
There were high school coaches such as Charles Boston that took me under his wing and taught me the fundamentals of football. And when I went to college there was Robert Hill who took me there and he showed me what hard work and determination would d...
Biggest lesson I learned my first year in the NFL is no one gives a crap about what you did last week. This league is about what have you done for me now. That's the NFL. It's also our culture. So you keep working hard because that's the biggest trut...
Zeus: What the fuck are you doin'? John McClane: Interrogatin' him. Zeus: Well, what's he gonna tell you, "I'm dead"? John McClane: Well, I ain't gonna know 'til I ask him, am I?
[trying to get to one of Simon's destinations on time] Zeus: I told you the Park Drive is always jammed. John McClane: I didn't say "Park Drive." [McClane turns the cab and drives through the park] John McClane: I said "through the park."
[McClane and Zeus break into a car] John McClane: You know how to hot-wire this thing? Zeus: Of course I can, I'm an electrician. Only problem is... [Zeus starts the ignition with his pliers] Zeus: it takes too fuckin' long.
John McClane: [Zeus has picked up a stray gold ingot and attempts to carry it out with him] Put that shit down. Zeus: No fuckin' way. John McClane: They ain't gonna let you keep it. Zeus: Yeah, yeah, we'll see.
[Paul, John and George come out of the studio, looking for Ringo] Paul: Let's split up and look for him! [Paul walks away, George and John follow him. Paul turns around] John: We've become a limited company.
Grandfather: Hullo. John: He can talk then, can he? Paul: 'Course he can talk. He's a human being, isn't he? Ringo: Well if he's your grandfather, who knows! Ha ha ha!
John: You should have gone west to America. You would have been a senior citizen of Boston. But you took a wrong turn, and what happened? You're a lonely old man from Liverpool. Grandfather: But I'm clean. John: Are you?
Brian: [Brian is in a prison cell with Ben who is hanging from chains] Oh lay off, I've had a hard time! Ben the Prisoner: You've had a hard time? I've been here five years, they only hung me the right way up yesterday.
Sam the Eagle: Work hard, lad, and one day, your life will be as solid as this very building! [the shelf collapses behind him] Sam the Eagle: Huh. I've been meaning to fix that shelf!
Inigo Montoya: Where is the Man in Black? [the Albino doesn't answer] Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, jog his memory. Fezzik: [Fezzik strikes the Albino so hard it knocks him out] Sorry, Inigo. I didn't mean to jog him so hard.
A guy's who has all the money he needs and never faced any hard times, he won't have any character. But when you've had it tough and you've had it rough and you thought you were at the end of the rope and you work your way out of it, that's the way y...
I've had tons of bullies who would call me retarded, even on my Facebook page. It's sad and it really hurts. I want to tell people not to use the word. Don't say your friend's retarded when they do something foolish. If you have a disability, keep wo...
On television, I have watched countless athletes from different countries, sports and Olympics stand proudly at the top of the podium and shed tears. They symbolized the Olympics for me because Olympic medals represent all of the hard work and sacrif...
Charlie and I discovered at a really young at that we had a passion for figure skating, and I think that passion drives us to work every day to improve and grow. We have really learned to love our sport more and more, year to year. And the hard work ...
Usually I'm pretty myopic. It's hard for me to multi-task, so to speak. If I'm in a show and I'm creating a character, I'm just completely into that. It's really hard for me to do anything else like write music. I have to sort of shut down different ...
But when I felt like I had something to prove? Then I got up early every morning and worked all day long. I didn't know if I had any more talent than anyone else directing, but I knew I could work hard at it, and so I did.
It's fairness to say those who work hard, get up in the morning, cut their cloth - in other words 'we can only afford to have one or two children because we don't earn enough'. They pay their taxes and they want to know that the same kind of decision...
