Motivational Quotes
Excellence
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.
Best Quotes about Excellence
There's a way to do better... find it.
Edison, Thomas A.
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Garfield, Charles A.
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham
Let each day be your masterpiece.
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
It is not from ourselves that we learn to be better than we are.
Berry, Wendell
People who produce good results feel good about themselves.
Blanchard, Ken
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
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
Riley, Pat
Then to Silvia let us sing that Silvia is excelling. She excels each mortal thing upon the dull earth dwelling.
Shakespeare, William
There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled.
Gracian, Baltasar
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
Hurt, William
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
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Bogart, Humphrey
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Gardner, John W.
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
The noblest search is the search for excellence.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.
Doing common things uncommonly well.
Marden, Orison Swett
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery
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
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
It isn't what you do, but how you do it.
Wooden, John
There is no top. There are always further heights to reach.
Heifetz, Jascha
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.
John F. Kennedy
Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter
Whatever you do, don't do it halfway.
Beamon, Bob
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
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
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill
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
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
If we want to make something really superb on this planet, there is nothing whatever that can stop us.
Mead, Shepherd
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence -- only in constant improvement and constant change.
Peters, Thomas J.
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.
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
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
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.
We must do the best we can with what we have.
Sill, Edward Rowland
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
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
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
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
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
