Only super-efforts count.
G.I. GurdjieffStichwörter: work action effort
The easiest way to gain someone's trust is to deserve it. This should be pretty easy, assuming you're just being you and being real. Minimal effort too.
Ashly LorenzanaStichwörter: honesty identity people trust effort charm real gain
In this world, the only easy path is the course of least resistance. This is the path always taken by a stream of water as it seeks lower and lower ground. It will never go over an obstacle, and even when it has to go around one, water will always find the easiest way around, the way that requires as little work as possible. This, you have have noticed, is what makes rivers crooked, and it makes men and women crooked too. The easy path never goes anywhere but downward, and spiritually, that is not the direction we want to go. Worthwhile destinations always take extra effort.
Gary HenryStichwörter: effort
In the game of life, we all receive a set of variables and limitations in the field of play. We can either focus on the lack thereof or empower ourselves to create better realities with the pieces we play the game with.
T.F. HodgeStichwörter: life reality empowerment determination effort games quotes limits focus limitations variables
I had done all that I could, and no Man is well pleased to have his all neglected, be it ever so little.
Samuel JohnsonStichwörter: understanding-others frustration respect effort educational
One bulb at a time. There was no other way to do it. No shortcuts--simply loving the slow process of planting. Loving the work as it unfolded. Loving an achievement that grew slowly and bloomed for only three weeks each year.
Jaroldeen Asplund EdwardsStichwörter: persistence journey joy consistency perseverance effort satisfaction achievement shortcuts
We forget that every good that is worth possessing must be paid for in strokes of daily effort. We postpone and postpone until those smiling possibilities are dead... By neglecting the necessary concrete labor, by sparing ourselves the little daily tax, we are positively digging the graves of our higher possibilities.
William JamesStichwörter: effort possibilities
You need to try.
Emily J. ProctorStichwörter: try effort working-hard
Sit still with me in the shade of these green trees, which have no weightier thought than the withering of their leaves when autumn arrives, or the stretching of their many stiff fingers into the cold sky of the passing winter. Sit still with me and meditate on how useless effort is, how alien the will, and on how our very meditation is no more useful than effort, and no more our own than the will. Meditate too on how a life that wants nothing can have no weight in the flux of things, but a life the wants everything can likewise have no weight in the flux of things, since it cannot obtain everything, and to obtain less than everything is not worthy of souls that seek the truth.
Fernando PessoaStichwörter: life philosophy nihilism effort meditation tao useless flux
It is always the start that requires the greatest effort.
