Inspirational quotes

Does anybody have any good quotes relating work to success. I think an inspirational quote can be a good way to instill positive values. I found a good one the other day “The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there.”― Vince Lombardi.

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."

Thoreau

ETA: And I love the Lombardi quote. Much better than his more famous quote about winning.

Re: Inspirational quotes

I don't know that I understand the Einstein one. If you like the Lombardi one he also said "The only place success comes before work is the dictionary".

118 made it to Einstein in 2002, 2005, 2012, and 2015. During their 2012 trip they never moved, so they haven't "moved" on Einstein in 10 years.

Other favorites:

"The most dangerous phrase in any language is 'We've always done it this way'" - Grace Hopper

"It seems perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away"
