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

13.

Kingsley, Charles

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

15.
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

16.
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill

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

22.
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

Trevino, Lee

24.
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.

25.
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

26.
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Carnegie, Andrew

Marden, Orison Swett

32.
One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Hazlitt, William

33.
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: Do more of what you do...
Schwartz, David J.

34.

I start where the last man left off.
Edison, Thomas A.

I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham

To enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.
Aristotle

48.
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett

49.
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Young, Steve

50.
It's enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you.

And if it's good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings.
Hemingway, Ernest
