Not a single person whose name is worth remembering lived a life of ease.

Ryan P. Allis

Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.

George Sand

Loving others always costs us something and requires effort. And you have to decide to do it on purpose. You can't wait for a feeling to motivate you.

Joyce Meyer

You are your greatest asset. Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming, and encouraging your greatest asset.

Tom Hopkins

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

Marian Wright Edelman

Allowing yourself to smile takes 99% of the effort.

Simon Travaglia

Mind you, physical training doesn't necessarily mean going to an expert for advice. One doesn't have to make a mountain out of a molehill. Get out in the fresh air and walk briskly - and don't forget to wear a smile while you're at it. Don't over-do. Take it easy at first and build on your effort day by day.

Douglas Fairbanks

When my company does a good job, we make people happy. They laugh, they smile, they have a good time - that's what we do for a living. Any business doing that is making a noble effort.

Jon Taffer

Remember the sufferings of Christ, the storms that were weathered... the crown that came from those sufferings which gave new radiance to the faith... All saints give testimony to the truth that without real effort, no one ever wins the crown.

Thomas Becket

The writer has two kinds of faith: actual writing and sitting openly. Have faith in your personal effort or sweat. And faith in God, or whatever you want to call it. Then the voices will come. Faith is the big deal.

Suzan-Lori Parks

Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

Mahatma Gandhi

Asking in faith requires honesty, effort, commitment, and persistence.
