Excellence

“Excellence can be obtained if you:
...care more than others think is wise;
...risk more than others think is safe;
...dream more than others think is practical;
...expect more than others think is possible.”


“Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.”


“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”


“Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character”


“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.”


“A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.”


“Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer.”


“Excellence is in the details. Give attention to the details and excellence will come.”


“If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.”


“Find something that you're really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can.”


“Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”


“If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.”


“Excellence is not an act but a habit. The things you do the most are the things you will do best.”


“If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.”


“Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.”


“The excellence is in the details.”


“No man ever reached to excellence in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful process of study and preparation”


“Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time.”


“Excellence means when a man or woman asks of himself more than others do.”


“Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.”
