Best Quotes about Excellence
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
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
Riley, Pat
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Young, Steve
Winners have the ability to step back from the canvas of their lives like an artist gaining perspective. They make their lives a work of art -- an individual masterpiece.
Waitley, Denis
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.
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
Shana Alexander
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
You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.
Popplestone, Charles E.
Resolve to make each day the very best and don't let anyone get in your way. If they do, step on them.
Benson, Ivan
I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest. I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have.
Truman, Harry S
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Carnegie, Andrew
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
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
Our goal, simply stated, is to be the best.
Robinson, James H.
Let each day be your masterpiece.
Then to Silvia let us sing that Silvia is excelling. She excels each mortal thing upon the dull earth dwelling.
Shakespeare, William
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
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
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
The noblest search is the search for excellence.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
Hill, Napoleon
There's a way to do better... find it.
Edison, Thomas A.
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Waitley, Denis
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard
People forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well you did it.
Newton, Howard W.
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
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter
Whoever I am, or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.
Gardner, John W.
Doing common things uncommonly well.
Marden, Orison Swett
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill
If something is exceptionally well done it has embedded in it's very existence the aim of lifting the common denominator rather than catering to it.
Fischer, Edward
Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.
Good enough never is.
Field, Debbi
Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can.
Thomas, Lowell
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Trevino, Lee
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.
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
Watson, Thomas J.
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
One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Hazlitt, William
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
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
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
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
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
Do a little bit more than average and from that point on our progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort put in.
Meyer, Paul J.
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 no finish line.
