Best Quotes about Excellence
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset
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
To enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.
Aristotle
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
Let each become all that he was created capable of being.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
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
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
Shana Alexander
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
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
Sallust
Strive for excellence, not perfection.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.
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.
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: Do more of what you do...
Schwartz, David J.
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
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
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
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 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
There's a way to do better... find it.
Edison, Thomas A.
There is no finish line.
Nike Corporation
One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Hazlitt, William
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Scott, Sir Walter
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Trevino, Lee
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
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
Feinstein, Dianne
Whoever I am, or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.
Gardner, John W.
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett
It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.
Publilius Syrus
Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can.
Thomas, Lowell
It isn't what you do, but how you do it.
Wooden, John
People forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well you did it.
Newton, Howard W.
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
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.
You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.
Popplestone, Charles E.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Bogart, Humphrey
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
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
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 ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.
John F. Kennedy
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Waitley, Denis
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
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
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
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Gardner, John W.
