Excellence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Excellence

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
Roddick, Anita

5.
Whatever you do, don't do it halfway.
Beamon, Bob

6.
The road to excellence is always under construction

7.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Wilde, Oscar

8.
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.

9.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
O'Connor, Flannery

10.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Lincoln, Abraham

11.
To enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on excellence of character.
Aristotle

12.
It isn't what you do, but how you do it.
Wooden, John

13.
One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Hazlitt, William

14.
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Bogart, Humphrey

15.
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

16.
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Garfield, Charles A.

17.
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Godin, Andre

18.
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

19.
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.

20.
There is no finish line.
Nike Corporation

21.
It isn't by size that you win or fail -- be the best of whatever you are.
Malloch, Douglas

22.
Strive for excellence, not perfection.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.

23.
We must do the best we can with what we have.
Sill, Edward Rowland

24.
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

25.
Become all that you are capable of becoming!
Mckain, Robert J.

26.
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

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.
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

29.
Great men are little men expanded; great lives are ordinary lives intensified.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

30.
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Maugham, W. Somerset

31.
People forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well you did it.
Newton, Howard W.

32.
Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

33.
The idea for which this nation stands will not survive if the highest goal free man can set themselves is an amiable mediocrity. Excellence implies striving for the highest standards in every phase of life.
Gardner, John W.

34.
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
Sallust

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

36.
Do more than you're supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want.
Sands, Bill

37.
Today, and every day, 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. Exercise your privilege to go the extra mile, and enjoy all the rewards you receive. You deserve them!
Mandino, Og

38.
Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.
Marden, Orison Swett

39.
Let each become all that he was created capable of being.
Carlyle, Thomas

40.
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

41.
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

42.
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

43.
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill

44.
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

45.
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.

46.
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

47.
You must be resolutely determined that whatever you do shall always be the best of which you are capable.
Popplestone, Charles E.

48.
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

49.
The uncommon man is merely the common man thinking and dreaming of success in larger terms and in more fruitful areas.
Powers, Melvin

50.
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
