Excellence

There is an infinite difference between a little wrong and just right, between fairly good and the best, between mediocrity and superiority...

Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
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

2.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery

3.
Become all that you are capable of becoming!
Mckain, Robert J.

4.
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
Sallust

5.
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.

6.
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

7.
With regard to excellence, it is not enough to know, but we must try to have and use it.
Aristotle

8.
Deliver more than you are getting paid to do. The victory of success will be half won when you learn the secret of putting out more than is expected in all that you do. Make yourself so valuable in your work that eventually you will become indispensable.
Mandino, Og

9.
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

10.
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Gardner, John W.

11.
Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.

12.
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

13.
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

14.
It isn't by size that you win or fail -- be the best of whatever you are.
Malloch, Douglas

15.
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

16.
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

17.
The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.
John F. Kennedy

18.
Our goal, simply stated, is to be the best.
Robinson, James H.

19.
Always strive to excel, but only on weekends.
Rorty, Richard

20.
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Garfield, Charles A.

21.
There's a way to do better... find it.
Edison, Thomas A.

22.
You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.
Popplestone, Charles E.

23.
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

24.
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett

25.
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.

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
Hill, Napoleon

30.
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
Watson, Thomas J.

31.
Don't waste your time striving for perfection, instead, strive for excellence -- doing your best.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence

32.
It is not from ourselves that we learn to be better than we are.
Berry, Wendell

33.
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

34.
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill

35.
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
Riley, Pat

36.
There is no finish line.
Nike Corporation

37.
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

38.
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.

39.
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
Hurt, William

40.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset

41.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Mandino, Og

42.
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Trevino, Lee

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

46.
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Carnegie, Andrew

47.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Wilde, Oscar

48.
The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: Do more of what you do...
Schwartz, David J.

49.
Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

50.
Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.
Vickery, A. Lou
