Motivational Quotes
Excellence
To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.
Best Quotes about Excellence
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 quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Godin, Andre
Doing common things uncommonly well.
Marden, Orison Swett
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
Shana Alexander
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Carnegie, Andrew
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Bogart, Humphrey
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
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
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Garfield, Charles A.
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
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
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Gardner, John W.
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
Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham
I start where the last man left off.
Edison, Thomas A.
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
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.
Let each become all that he was created capable of being.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Waitley, Denis
Then to Silvia let us sing that Silvia is excelling. She excels each mortal thing upon the dull earth dwelling.
Shakespeare, William
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery
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.
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
It isn't by size that you win or fail -- be the best of whatever you are.
Malloch, Douglas
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
Superiority -- doing things a little better than anybody else can do them.
Marden, Orison Swett
Don't waste your time striving for perfection, instead, strive for excellence -- doing your best.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence
The noblest search is the search for excellence.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
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
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
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
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
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
Good enough never is.
Field, Debbi
The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate.
Keats, John
People come out to see you perform and you've got to give them the best you have within you. The lives of most men are patchwork quilts. Or at best one matching outfit with a closet and laundry bag full of incongruous accumulations. A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.
Owens, Jesse
There is no finish line.
Nike Corporation
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
You're probably not a member of a major league baseball team, your errors, unless they are truly spectacular, don't show up in the morning paper.
Goodsell, Jane
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
Whoever I am, or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.
Gardner, John W.
To enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.
Aristotle
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine
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
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
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
