Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
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

2.
Do a little bit more than average and from that point on our progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort put in.
Meyer, Paul J.

3.
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

4.
Strive for excellence, not perfection.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.

5.
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
Shana Alexander

6.
I start where the last man left off.
Edison, Thomas A.

7.
We must do the best we can with what we have.
Sill, Edward Rowland

8.
Don't waste your time striving for perfection, instead, strive for excellence -- doing your best.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence

9.
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.
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Simmons, Charles

11.
The road to excellence is always under construction

12.
Good enough never is.
Field, Debbi

13.
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

14.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham

15.
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
Watson, Thomas J.

16.
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard

17.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset

18.
It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.
Publilius Syrus

19.
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

20.
Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.
Vickery, A. Lou

21.
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

22.
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Godin, Andre

23.
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

24.
Badness you can get easily, in quantity; the road is smooth, and it lies close by, But in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steer is the way to it.
Hesiod

25.
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.

26.
One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important to you. Perfection does not exist -- you can always do better and you can always grow.
Brown, Les

27.
If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.
Floyd, Ray

28.
Today, and every day, 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. Exercise your privilege to go the extra mile, and enjoy all the rewards you receive. You deserve them!
Mandino, Og

29.
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill

30.
I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest. I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have.
Truman, Harry S

31.
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Young, Steve

32.
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
Roddick, Anita

33.
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett

34.
The real contest is always between what you've done and what you're capable of doing. You measure yourself against yourself and nobody else.
Gaberino, Geoffrey

35.
There is no finish line.
Nike Corporation

36.
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.

37.
Become all that you are capable of becoming!
Mckain, Robert J.

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.
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

40.
You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.
Popplestone, Charles E.

41.
People come out to see you perform and you've got to give them the best you have within you. The lives of most men are patchwork quilts. Or at best one matching outfit with a closet and laundry bag full of incongruous accumulations. A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.
Owens, Jesse

42.
Set exorbitant standards, and give your people hell when they don't live up to them. There is nothing so demoralizing as a boss who tolerates second rate work.
Ogilvy, David

43.

48.
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John

You always have to give 100 percent, because if you don't, someone, someplace, will give 100 percent and will beat you when you meet.
Macauley, Ed

50.
With regard to excellence, it is not enough to know, but we must try to have and use it.
Aristotle
