Greek - Philosopher

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.

Aristotle

As the excellence of steel is strength, and the excellence of art is beauty, so the excellence of mankind is moral character.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Excellence is THE trend of the '80s. Walk into any shopping mall bookstore, go to the rack where they keep the best-sellers such as Garfield Gets Spayed, and you'll see a half-dozen books telling you how to be excellent: In Search of Excellence, Finding Excellence, Grasping Hold of Excellence, Where to Hide Your Excellence at Night So the Cleaning Personnel Don't Steal It, etc.

Dave Barry

Some critics claim to know what art has to be and do, and consider it their task to steer art along the path they have chosen. Others receive art gladly, and try to distinguish degrees of excellence.

Norbert Lynton

I would urge that the yeast of education is the idea of excellence, and the idea of excellence comprises as many forms as there are individuals, each of whom develops his own image of excellence. The school must have as one of its principal functions the nurturing of images of excellence.

Jerome Bruner

Poetry is an art, and chief of the fine art; the easiest to dabble in, the hardest in which to reach true excellence.

Edmund Clarence Stedman

Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for nonviolence.

Mahatma Gandhi

The training of the mind is an art. If this can be considered art, one's life is art.

Dalai Lama

Perfectionism is the counterfeit of excellence. Excellence is Kingdom, while perfectionism is religion. What ever you do, do it with all you might, and as unto the Lord. That is excellence.

Bill Johnson

As long as you remain true to yourself and continue training with sincerity, nobody can stop you from achieving excellence.

Milkha Singh

The desire of excellence is the necessary attribute of those who excel. We work little for a thing unless we wish for it. But we cannot of ourselves estimate the degree of our success in what we strive for; that task is left to others. With the desire for excellence comes, therefore, the desire for approbation. And this distinguishes intellectual excellence from moral excellence; for the latter has no necessity of human tribunal; it is more inclined to shrink from the public than to invite the public to be its judge.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

Excellence is not an art. It is the habit of practice.

Aristotle

The excellence of every Art is its intensity.

John Keats

I received my training at an art academy, so what I produce is art. That's what is artistic about my photographs.

Thomas Ruff

Training programs shouldn't be designed to deliver competence; they must be dedicated to producing excellence. Serious organizations don't aspire to be comfortably above average.

Brandon Webb

Habituation puts to sleep the eye of our judgment.

Michel de Montaigne
