Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
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

2.
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

3.
It isn't by size that you win or fail -- be the best of whatever you are.
Malloch, Douglas

4.
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Gardner, John W.

Fields, Debbie

The road to excellence is always under construction

7.
To enjoy enduring success we should travel a little in advance of the world.

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

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

Gaberino, Geoffrey

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

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

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

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

18.
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John

19.
The uncommon man is merely the common man thinking and dreaming of success in larger terms and in more fruitful areas.
Powers, Melvin

20.
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

21.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset

22.
Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.

23.
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
Sallust

24.
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Simmons, Charles

25.
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

26.
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

27.
To do the right thing, at the right time, in the right way; to do some things better than they were ever done before; to eliminate errors; to know both sides of the question; to be courteous; to be an example; to work for the love of work; to anticipate requirements; to develop resources; to recognize no impediments; to master circumstances; to act from reason rather than rule; to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection.
Marshall Field & Company

28.
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: Do more of what you do...
Schwartz, David J.

29.
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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.

34.
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett

35.
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

36.
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Trevino, Lee

37.
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.

38.
It is not from ourselves that we learn to be better than we are.
Berry, Wendell

39.
To enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.
Aristotle

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
Doing common things uncommonly well.
Marden, Orison Swett

43.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Mandino, Og

44.
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

45.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery

46.
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

47.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Wilde, Oscar

48.
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

49.
Our goal, simply stated, is to be the best.
Robinson, James H.

50.
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
