W. S. Gilbert Work Quotations

Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that process gain strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it,

We're working on an integrated solution with a major chip manufacturer. Much of the technology exists already, we're using a lot of the sophistication we've developed for the uplink, where a base station has to work hard to pick up a weak signal from a mobile, and using it on the downlink.

That was our fault. We were running around. We had no idea what we were doing. It was frustrating because it was happening every power play we were out there. We didn't know what guy we had.

Every year's a new challenge. Every game's its own separate entity. We just have to work through every game. It's a learning experience. People get frustrated when we lose, but we've been here before. And this week's a challenge; we don't get a week off. It's 10 weeks of a meat-grinder, but that's they way we want it. We like games like this. Our kids play well in games like this.

Consumers are living increasingly more hectic lives, often running between home, work and school with little time left to satisfy their appetites.

He's pushing the envelope, ... All these guys when they turn 30 can say, 'I can work hard and still make it happen.'

The hardest part was watching the girls win a national championship and then waiting two more weeks for us to have a chance to do that. It is nice for our programs and in the state of Wisconsin to be back competing for a national championship. It is something we work for all year. It is hard work and dedication that got us here.

I can't describe how I feel. It's something you work for all year.

He did nothing in particular, and did it very well.
