Motivational Quotes
Excellence
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.
Best Quotes about Excellence
Whatever you do, don't do it halfway.
Beamon, Bob
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
Sallust
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
From time to time there appear on the face of the earth men of rare and consummate excellence, who dazzle us by their virtue, and whose outstanding qualities shed a stupendous light. Like those extraordinary stars of whose origins we are ignorant, and of whose fate, once they have vanished, we know even less, such men have neither forebears nor descendants: they are the whole of their race.
Bruyere, Jean De La
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett
People forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well you did it.
Newton, Howard W.
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.
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
With regard to excellence, it is not enough to know, but we must try to have and use it.
Aristotle
It is not from ourselves that we learn to be better than we are.
Berry, Wendell
It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.
Publilius Syrus
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
One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Hazlitt, William
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard
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
I start where the last man left off.
Edison, Thomas A.
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence -- only in constant improvement and constant change.
Peters, Thomas J.
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
Don't waste your time striving for perfection, instead, strive for excellence -- doing your best.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence
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.
Then to Silvia let us sing that Silvia is excelling. She excels each mortal thing upon the dull earth dwelling.
Shakespeare, William
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
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
Watson, Thomas 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
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Godin, Andre
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
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
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
Hurt, William
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Waitley, Denis
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Trevino, Lee
If we want to make something really superb on this planet, there is nothing whatever that can stop us.
Mead, Shepherd
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
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 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.
Darwin, Francis
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Gardner, John W.
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
Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Bogart, Humphrey
Become all that you are capable of becoming!
Mckain, Robert J.
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
No matter how small and unimportant what we are doing may seem, if we do it well, it may soon become the step that will lead us to better things.
Pollock, Channing
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: Do more of what you do...
Schwartz, David J.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset
If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.
Floyd, Ray
The road to excellence is always under construction
We must do the best we can with what we have.
Sill, Edward Rowland
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
The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.
John F. Kennedy
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
