Best Quotes about Excellence
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Mandino, Og
Doing common things uncommonly well.
Marden, Orison Swett
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard
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
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
Sallust
You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards.
Tracy, Brian
It isn't by size that you win or fail -- be the best of whatever you are.
Malloch, Douglas
The noblest search is the search for excellence.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
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
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
There is no top. There are always further heights to reach.
Heifetz, Jascha
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

Marshall Field & Company
Strive for excellence, not perfection.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.
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
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
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
The road to excellence is always under construction
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 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
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter
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
If we want to make something really superb on this planet, there is nothing whatever that can stop us.
Mead, Shepherd
It isn't what you do, but how you do it.
Wooden, John
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine
If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.
Floyd, Ray
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
Our goal, simply stated, is to be the best.
Robinson, James H.
To enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.
Aristotle
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
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
Shana Alexander
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
Superiority -- doing things a little better than anybody else can do them.
Marden, Orison Swett
Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
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
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
It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.
Publilius Syrus
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
People who produce good results feel good about themselves.
Blanchard, Ken
It is not from ourselves that we learn to be better than we are.
Berry, Wendell
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett
There is no finish line.
Nike Corporation
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
Roddick, Anita
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
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.
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
