Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
There is no top. There are always further heights to reach.
Heifetz, Jascha

6.
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

7.
Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

8.
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Gardner, John W.

9.
The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.
John F. Kennedy

10.
Become all that you are capable of becoming!
Mckain, Robert J.

11.
I start where the last man left off.
Edison, Thomas A.

12.
There is no finish line.
Nike Corporation

13.
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

14.
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence -- only in constant improvement and constant change.
Peters, Thomas J.

15.
The noblest search is the search for excellence.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

16.
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

17.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset

18.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Wilde, Oscar

19.
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

20.
Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can.
Thomas, Lowell

21.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
Hill, Napoleon

22.
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

23.
If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.
Floyd, Ray

24.
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Young, Steve

25.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham

26.
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
Washington, Booker T.

27.
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Simmons, Charles

28.
To enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.
Aristotle

29.
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

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

31.
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

32.
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

33.
Superiority -- doing things a little better than anybody else can do them.
Marden, Orison Swett

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill

37.
With regard to excellence, it is not enough to know, but we must try to have and use it.
Aristotle

38.
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

39.
Good enough never is.
Field, Debbi

40.
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

41.
Let each become all that he was created capable of being.
Carlyle, Thomas

42.
The uncommon man is merely the common man thinking and dreaming of success in larger terms and in more fruitful areas.
Powers, Melvin

43.
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard

44.
Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.

45.
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

46.
A racehorse that consistently runs just a second faster than another horse is worth millions of dollars more. Be willing to give that extra effort that separates the winner from the one in second place.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson

47.
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

48.
