Motivational Quotes
Excellence
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.

Best Quotes about Excellence
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.
It is not from ourselves that we learn to be better than we are.
Berry, Wendell
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
If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.
Floyd, Ray
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
Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can.
Thomas, Lowell
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
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
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter
With regard to excellence, it is not enough to know, but we must try to have and use it.
Aristotle
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Carnegie, Andrew
Whoever I am, or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.
Gardner, John W.
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
We must do the best we can with what we have.
Sill, Edward Rowland
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett
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
People who produce good results feel good about themselves.
Blanchard, Ken
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Trevino, Lee
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Waitley, Denis
Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark...
Marden, Orison Swett
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
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
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.
There seems to be one quality of mind which seems to be of special and extreme advantage in leading him to make discoveries. It was the power of never letting exceptions go unnoticed.
Darwin, Francis
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
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence -- only in constant improvement and constant change.
Peters, Thomas J.
You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.
Popplestone, Charles E.
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Simmons, Charles
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
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
Roddick, Anita
Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
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
The road to excellence is always under construction
I start where the last man left off.
Edison, Thomas A.
It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.
Publilius Syrus
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
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: Do more of what you do...
Schwartz, David J.
Superiority -- doing things a little better than anybody else can do them.
Marden, Orison Swett
It isn't what you do, but how you do it.
Wooden, John
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
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
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
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
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
The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.
John F. Kennedy
No matter how small and unimportant what we are doing may seem, if we do it well, it may soon become the step that will lead us to better things.
Pollock, Channing
Whatever you do, don't do it halfway.
Beamon, Bob
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
Hurt, William
There is no top. There are always further heights to reach.
Heifetz, Jascha
Don't waste your time striving for perfection, instead, strive for excellence -- doing your best.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence
