All excellence involves discipline

and tenacity of purpose.

John W. Gardner

There is a canyon of difference between doing your best to

glorify God and doing whatever it takes to glorify

yourself. The quest for excellence is a mark of maturity.

The quest for power is childish.

Max L. Lucado

Hit the ball over the fence and you can

take your time going around the bases.

John W. Raper

When we do the best that we can, we

never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the

life of another.

Helen Keller

Aim at perfection in everything, though in

most things it is unattainable; however, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come

much nearer to it than those whose laziness

and despondency make them give it up

as unattainable.

Lord Chesterfield

All things excellent are as difficult as

they are rare.

Benedict Spinoza

The quality of a person's life is in

direct proportion to their commitment to

excellence, regardless of their

chosen field of endeavour.

Vince Lombardi

To get the best out of a man go to what

is best in him.

Daniel Considine

Think of failure as excellence-in-

training: It shows you have the

courage to try and, when you pick

yourself up, to start again.

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, then, is not an act, but a

habit.

Aristotle

If I had given you any parting advice it

would, I think, all have been

comprised in this one sentence: to

live up always to the best and highest

you know.

Hannah Whithall Smith

Then give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to

you.

Madeline Bridges

We should not judge people by

their peak of excellence; but by the distance they

have traveled from the point where they

started.

Henry Ward Beecher

Good is not good where better is

expected.

Sir Thomas Fuller

Strive for excellence,

not perfection.

H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Those who attain to any excellence

spend life in some one single pursuit,

for excellence is not often gained on

easier terms.

Samuel Johnson
