Aristotle
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
|
Bill Pollard
If you want people to listen, you have to have a platform to speak from , and that is excellence in what you do.
|
Buck Rodgers
There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.
|
Charles Swindoll
The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it's a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free.
|
David Ogilvy
Don't bunt. Aim out of the ball park. Aim for the company of the immortals.
|
David Starr Jordan
There is no real excellence in all of this world which can be separated from right living.
|
Doris Lessing
What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.
|
Edwin Bliss
Perfection, fortunately, is not the only alternative to mediocrity. A more sensible alternative is excellence. Striving for excellence is stimulating and rewarding; striving for perfection--in practically anything--is both neurotic and futile.
|
Ellen Glasgow
Mediocrity would always win by force of numbers, but it would win only more mediocrity.
|
Harriet Braiker
Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing.
|
Hesiod
Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning.
|
Hortense Odlum A Woman's Place
One of the greatest satisfactions one can ever have comes from the knowledge that he can do something superlatively well.
|
John W. Gardner
Some people have greatness thrust upon them. Very few have excellence thrust upon them.
