Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
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

2.
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Trevino, Lee

3.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
Washington, Booker T.

7.
Let each become all that he was created capable of being.
Carlyle, Thomas

8.
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence -- only in constant improvement and constant change.
Peters, Thomas J.

12.
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
Feinstein, Dianne

13.
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

14.
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

15.
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
Shana Alexander

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
It isn't by size that you win or fail -- be the best of whatever you are.
Malloch, Douglas

20.
The noblest search is the search for excellence.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

21.
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

22.
Our goal, simply stated, is to be the best.
Robinson, James H.

23.
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

24.
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

25.
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
Hurt, William

26.
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Young, Steve

27.
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill

28.
The road to excellence is always under construction

29.
The man who comes up with a means for doing or producing almost anything better, faster or more economically has his future and his fortune at his fingertips.
Getty, J. Paul

30.
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

31.
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

32.
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

33.
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

34.
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Godin, Andre

35.
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

36.
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

37.
If we want to make something really superb on this planet, there is nothing whatever that can stop us.
Mead, Shepherd

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

39.
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

40.
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard

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

42.
People who produce good results feel good about themselves.
Blanchard, Ken

43.
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.

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

Pollock, Channing

49.
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
