Motivational Quotes
Excellence
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.

Best Quotes about Excellence
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Simmons, Charles
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Godin, Andre
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
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
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: Do more of what you do...
Schwartz, David J.
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
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery
People who produce good results feel good about themselves.
Blanchard, Ken
I can do small things in a great way.
Clarke, James Freeman
Let each day be your masterpiece.
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine
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
Don't waste your time striving for perfection, instead, strive for excellence -- doing your best.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Garfield, Charles A.
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
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
Riley, Pat
You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.
Popplestone, Charles E.
Strive for excellence, not perfection.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Do your work; not just your work and no more, but a little more for the lavishing's sake -- that little more which is worth all the rest.
Briggs, Dean
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter
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
There is a canyon of difference between doing your best to glorify God and doing whatever it takes to glorify yourself. The quest for excellence is a mark of maturity. The quest for power is childish.
Lucado, Max L.
The noblest search is the search for excellence.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
Our goal, simply stated, is to be the best.
Robinson, James H.
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill
If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.
Watson, Thomas J.
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.
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
Watson, Thomas J.
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
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.
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
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Superiority -- doing things a little better than anybody else can do them.
Marden, Orison Swett
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
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
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
Feinstein, Dianne
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Young, Steve
Put the uncommon effort into the common task... make it large by doing it in a great way.
Marden, Orison Swett
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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 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
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John
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
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
