“The supreme excellence is not to win a hundred victories in a hundred battles. The supreme excellence is to subdue the armies of your enemies without even having to fight them.”
Lao Tzu
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
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.”
“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.”
Steve Jobs
“There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled.”
Baltasar Gracian
“One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent”
Epictetus
“There is something about hanging around people who are in pursuit of excellence, and those who are constantly attaining success in their lives. It rubs off on you if you hang around them long enough.”
