Excellence

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
Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
It is just the little difference between the good and the best that makes the difference between the artist and the artisan. It is just the little touches after the average man would quit that makes the master's fame.
Marden, Orison Swett

2.
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
Hurt, William

3.
It's enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you. But if you do it year after year, then many people remember you and they tell it to their children, and their children and grandchildren remember and, if it concerns books, they can read them. And if it's good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings.
Hemingway, Ernest

4.
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

5.
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

6.
It isn't what you do, but how you do it.
Wooden, John

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

10.
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

11.
We must do the best we can with what we have.
Sill, Edward Rowland

12.
It isn't by size that you win or fail -- be the best of whatever you are.
Malloch, Douglas

13.
The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.
John F. Kennedy

14.
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Garfield, Charles A.

15.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Mandino, Og

16.
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.

17.
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

18.
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

19.
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Bogart, Humphrey

20.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham

21.
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence -- only in constant improvement and constant change.
Peters, Thomas J.

22.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is the one who makes great demands on himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

26.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset

27.
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
Sallust

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

30.
If you'll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives.
Lombardi, Vince

31.
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Carnegie, Andrew

32.
One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Hazlitt, William

33.
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.

34.
The kind of people I look for to fill top management spots are the eager beavers, the mavericks. These are the guys who try to do more than they're expected to do -- they always reach.
Iacocca, Lee

35.
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter

36.
I made a resolve then that I was going to amount to something if I could. And no hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me. And I have done that ever since, and I win by it. I know.
Sanders, Col. Harland

37.
Strive for excellence, not perfection.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.

38.
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard

Hill, Napoleon

42.
Whoever I am, or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.
Gardner, John W.

43.
Winners have the ability to step back from the canvas of their lives like an artist gaining perspective. They make their lives a work of art -- an individual masterpiece.
Waitley, Denis

44.
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

45.
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Young, Steve

46.
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

47.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery

48.
Resolve to make each day the very best and don't let anyone get in your way. If they do, step on them.
Benson, Ivan

49.
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Godin, Andre
