Consistency is the belt that fastens excellence in position. If you don't do it repeatedly, you'll not excel in it.

Whoever I am or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.

If your project doesn't work, look for the part that you didn't think was important.

If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he'll never come off the field second.

Learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of the dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one being, a satisfaction. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God.

Integrate what you believe into every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else. Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

We measure the excellency of other men by some excellency we conceive to be in ourselves.

The heart of man does not tolerate an absence of the excellent and supreme.

It is not sufficiently considered in the hour of exultation, that all human excellence is comparative; that no man performs much but in proportion to what others accomplish, or to the time and opportunities which have been allowed him.

One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.

Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labour in it, but they labour in it because they excel.

There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled.

Human excellence means nothing Unless it works with the consent of God.

Anyone who has achieved excellence in any form knows that it comes as a result of ceaseless concentration.

What is well done is done soon enough.

There is no excellence uncoupled with difficulties.
