Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

Sallust

2.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
Hill, Napoleon

3.
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill

4.
From time to time there appear on the face of the earth men of rare and consummate excellence, who dazzle us by their virtue, and whose outstanding qualities shed a stupendous light. Like those extraordinary stars of whose origins we are ignorant, and of whose fate, once they have vanished, we know even less, such men have neither forebears nor descendants: they are the whole of their race.
Bruyere, Jean De La

5.
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett

6.

The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Waitley, Denis

Thomas, Lowell

The man who comes up with a means for doing or producing almost anything better, faster or more economically has his future and his fortune at his fingertips.
Getty, J. Paul

10.
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill

11.
The idea for which this nation stands will not survive if the highest goal free man can set themselves is an amiable mediocrity. Excellence implies striving for the highest standards in every phase of life.
Gardner, John W.

12.
Strive for excellence, not perfection.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.

13.
The best we can do is size up the chances, calculate the risks involved, estimate our ability to deal with them, and then make our plans with confidence.
Ford, Henry

14.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset

15.
To do the right thing, at the right time, in the right way; to do some things better than they were ever done before; to eliminate errors; to know both sides of the question; to be courteous; to be an example; to work for the love of work; to anticipate requirements; to develop resources; to recognize no impediments; to master circumstances; to act from reason rather than rule; to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection.
Marshall Field & Company

16.
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John

17.
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
Shana Alexander

18.
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Young, Steve

19.
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

20.

Mcdonald, John

Robinson, James H.

23.
Do your work; not just your work and no more, but a little more for the lavishing's sake -- that little more which is worth all the rest.
Briggs, Dean

24.
Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.
Kingsley, Charles

25.
Good enough never is.
Field, Debbi

26.
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can reach. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries and predecessors; try to be better than yourself.

27.
If we want to make something really superb on this planet, there is nothing whatever that can stop us.
Mead, Shepherd

28.
Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.

29.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham

30.
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
Pearl Buck

31.
One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one's ability. There is a special sense of satisfaction, a pride in surveying such a work, a work which is rounded, full, exact, complete in its parts, which the superficial person who leaves his or her work in a slovenly, slipshod, half-finished condition, can never know. It is this conscientious completeness which turns any work into art. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.
Mandino, Og

32.
Deliver more than you are getting paid to do. The victory of success will be half won when you learn the secret of putting out more than is expected in all that you do. Make yourself so valuable in your work that eventually you will become indispensable.
Mandino, Og

33.
Determine to become one of the best. Sufficient money will almost automatically follow if you get to be one of the best in your chosen field, whatever it is.
Mitchell, Don G.

34.
A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it's there complete in the mind, if only at the back.
Woolf, Virginia

35.
If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.
Floyd, Ray

36.
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Garfield, Charles A.

37.
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

38.
If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.
Watson, Thomas J.

39.
You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards.
Tracy, Brian

40.
Let each become all that he was created capable of being.
Carlyle, Thomas

41.
It is only in your mind that you have to excel, at anything or everything. Of course, it would be very nice to excel at most things. Indeed, we recommend that you try and do your best. But realistically, you are entitled to do the bare minimum to get by. All your accomplishments are just a bonus, something to enjoy, not requirements. You don't have to do anything to prove that you are worthy of existing.
Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams, Lidia Dengelegi

42.
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Trevino, Lee

43.

Heifetz, Jascha

45.
It is the mark of an instructed mind to rest satisfied with the degree of precision which the nature of the subject admits and not to seek exactness when only an approximation of the truth is possible.
Aristotle

46.
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Bogart, Humphrey

47.
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Simmons, Charles

48.
Put the uncommon effort into the common task... make it large by doing it in a great way.
Marden, Orison Swett

You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do.
Garcia, Jerry

50.
I start where the last man left off.
Edison, Thomas A.
