Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

2.
People forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well you did it.
Newton, Howard W.

3.
To enjoy enduring success we should travel a little in advance of the world.
Mcdonald, John

4.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham

5.
Put the uncommon effort into the common task... make it large by doing it in a great way.
Marden, Orison Swett

6.
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

7.
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Waitley, Denis

8.
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Bogart, Humphrey

9.
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: Do more of what you do...
Schwartz, David J.

10.
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.

11.
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Gardner, John W.

12.
Anybody who accepts mediocrity -- in school, on the job, in life -- is a person who compromises, and when the leader compromises, the whole organization compromises.
Knight, Charles

13.
There is no top. There are always further heights to reach.
Heifetz, Jascha

14.
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

15.
It isn't what you do, but how you do it.
Wooden, John

16.
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
Washington, Booker T.

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Whoever I am, or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.
Gardner, John W.

21.
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

22.
One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Hazlitt, William

23.
You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.
Popplestone, Charles E.

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.
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

26.
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Carnegie, Andrew

27.
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

28.
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

29.
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John

30.
It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.
Publilius Syrus

31.
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

32.
Don't waste your time striving for perfection, instead, strive for excellence -- doing your best.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Mandino, Og

37.
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.

38.
Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can.
Thomas, Lowell

39.
Superiority -- doing things a little better than anybody else can do them.
Marden, Orison Swett

40.
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

41.
There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.
Marden, Orison Swett

42.
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

43.
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

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

45.
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

46.
Let each become all that he was created capable of being.
Carlyle, Thomas

47.
There is a canyon of difference between doing your best to glorify God and doing whatever it takes to glorify yourself. The quest for excellence is a mark of maturity. The quest for power is childish.
Lucado, Max L.

48.
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard

49.
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter

50.
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill
