Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
I can do small things in a great way.
Clarke, James Freeman

2.
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard

3.
It is those who have this imperative demand for the best in their natures, and who will accept nothing short of it, that holds the banners of progress, that set the standards, the ideals, for others.
Marden, Orison Swett

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

5.
I start where the last man left off.
Edison, Thomas A.

6.
There is an infinite difference between a little wrong and just right, between fairly good and the best, between mediocrity and superiority...
Marden, Orison Swett

7.
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Godin, Andre

8.
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

9.
I use nothing but the best ingredients. My cookies are always baked fresh. I price cookies so that you cannot make them at home for any less. And I still give cookies away.
Fields, Debbie

10.
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Simmons, Charles

11.
There is one plain rule of life. Try thyself unweariedly till thou findest the highest thing thou art capable of doing, faculties and outward circumstances being both duly considered, and then do it.
Mill, John Stuart

12.
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

13.
When you say you'll meet someone at 11:00 AM, be there at 10:45. When you promise a check on the 30th, send it on the 28th. Whatever you agree to do, do it a bit more. Start with your employees, then extend it to everyone you deal with. News will soon get around that you are a person of your word.
Scott, Charles Prestwich

14.
We do not do well except when we know where the best is and when we are assured that we have touched it and hold its power within us.
Joubert, Joseph

15.
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

16.
The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.
Michener, James A.

17.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
Hill, Napoleon

18.
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.

19.
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

20.
To aim at excellence, our reputation, and friends, and all must be ventured; to aim at the average we run no risk and provide little service.
Goldsmith, Oliver

21.
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.

22.
Just make up your mind at the very outset that your work is going to stand for quality... that you are going to stamp a superior quality upon everything that goes out of your hands, that whatever you do shall bear the hall-mark of excellence.
Marden, Orison Swett

23.
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
Washington, Booker T.

24.
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

25.
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill

26.
If something is exceptionally well done it has embedded in it's very existence the aim of lifting the common denominator rather than catering to it.
Fischer, Edward

27.
There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled.
Gracian, Baltasar

28.
There's a way to do better... find it.
Edison, Thomas A.

29.
The uncommon man is merely the common man thinking and dreaming of success in larger terms and in more fruitful areas.
Powers, Melvin

30.
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

31.
Become all that you are capable of becoming!
Mckain, Robert J.

32.
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

33.
Doing common things uncommonly well.
Marden, Orison Swett

34.
The road to excellence is always under construction

35.
Don't waste your time striving for perfection, instead, strive for excellence -- doing your best.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence

36.
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill

37.
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.

Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

41.
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

42.
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

43.
There is no top. There are always further heights to reach.
Heifetz, Jascha

44.
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
Sallust

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

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

47.
You're probably not a member of a major league baseball team, your errors, unless they are truly spectacular, don't show up in the morning paper.
Goodsell, Jane

48.
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

49.
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

50.
People forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well you did it.
Newton, Howard W.
