“Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer.”
Rick Pitino
“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.”
Steve Jobs
“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.”
“The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”
Vince Lombardi
“There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled.”
Baltasar Gracian
“PERFECTION, n. An imaginary state of quality distinguished from the actual by an element known as excellence; an attribute of the critic. The editor of an English magazine having received a letter pointing out the erroneous nature of his views and style, and signed "Perfection," promptly wrote at the foot of the letter: "I don't agree with you," and mailed it to Matthew Arnold.”
Ambrose Bierce
