Excellence

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

Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
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

2.
The uncommon man is merely the common man thinking and dreaming of success in larger terms and in more fruitful areas.
Powers, Melvin

3.
There's a way to do better... find it.
Edison, Thomas A.

4.
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

5.
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill

6.
One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Hazlitt, William

7.
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

8.
Our goal, simply stated, is to be the best.
Robinson, James H.

9.
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
Riley, Pat

10.
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

11.
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

12.
We must do the best we can with what we have.
Sill, Edward Rowland

13.
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

14.
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.

15.
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

16.
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Garfield, Charles A.

17.
The road to excellence is always under construction

18.
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

19.
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
Roddick, Anita

20.
Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.

21.
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

22.
It has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.
Hill, Napoleon

23.
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.

24.
People who produce good results feel good about themselves.
Blanchard, Ken

25.
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
Washington, Booker T.

26.
Superiority -- doing things a little better than anybody else can do them.
Marden, Orison Swett

27.
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Waitley, Denis

28.
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

29.
People forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well you did it.
Newton, Howard W.

30.
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
If we want to make something really superb on this planet, there is nothing whatever that can stop us.
Mead, Shepherd

32.
The noblest search is the search for excellence.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

33.
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence -- only in constant improvement and constant change.
Peters, Thomas J.

34.
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.

35.
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

36.
I can do small things in a great way.
Clarke, James Freeman

37.
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

38.
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

39.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Wilde, Oscar

40.
You can start right where you stand and apply the habit of going the extra mile by rendering more service and better service than you are now being paid for.
Hill, Napoleon

41.
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

42.
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

43.
It isn't by size that you win or fail -- be the best of whatever you are.
Malloch, Douglas

44.
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.

45.
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

46.
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.

47.
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett

48.
To enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.
Aristotle

49.
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

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