W. S. Gilbert Work Quotations

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

The seniors will be missed dearly. They've worked really hard all year and got us back to districts, something they've never experienced. Hopefully, it's the beginning of many more to come.

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. It's something that we're going to have to go back and work on, and teach ourselves that we've got to get better prepared for any team's power play because we just weren't ready for it.

Work was made for man, and not man for work. Work is man's servant, both in its results to the worker and the world. Man is not work's servant, save as an almost universal perversion has made him such.

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

Watching film, (the problems) weren't anything major. It was just little missed assignments. We weren't releasing to the linebacker quick enough. We weren't moving our feet. We ran too wide. We had a multitude of little things that we've worked like heck this week to correct.

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.

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.

At the time it was a horrible experience, ... But it all worked out.

When the work is done, I go off and I live on my boat for awhile, and I can't think of anything that makes me happier. It all depends on where your values are. Sometimes I ask myself why I do all this work, but once I get out on the water, I know.

We owned it in a business trust, which prevented us from doing some development, and we also thought the timing was right in terms of interest. We were very pleased with the marketing effort, the exposure, the number of credible offers and the way everyone worked together to accomplish the closing before the end of the year.

Everything in our program starts in the weight room. If you don't lift weights, it's awful hard to get on the field on Friday night. Our kids turn out and they work pretty hard.

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,

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