If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.

Oscar Wilde

First make sure that what you aspire to accomplish is worth accomplishing, and then throw your whole vitality into it. What's worth doing is worth doing well. And to do anything well, wheter it be typing a letter or drawing up an agreement involving millions, we must give not only our hands to the doing of it, but our brains, our enthusiasm, the best - all that is in us. The task to which you dedicate yourself can never become a drudgery.

B. C. Forbes

The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all.

Barbara Ehrenreich

Anything worth doing, is worth doing all the way. Just know you'll have to live with all the choices that you make.

Reba McEntire

That's the trouble with awards for a body of work. They always come at both a good time and a wrong time. Good because they tell you what you've been doing was worth the doing and wrong because they ought to come when you're young and excited and hungry for assurance that what you're doing is worth the doing.

Stephen Sondheim

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first.

Brian Tracy

Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.

Julia Cameron

Yes, it's absolutely true that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly - until you can learn to do it well.

Zig Ziglar

There's a rule they don't teach you at the Harvard Business School. It is, if anything is worth doing, it's worth doing to excess.

Edwin Land

I've always followed the rule that anything worth doing is worth doing excessively.

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.

Steve Brown

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

Margaret Mahy

Just about anything worth doing is worth doing better.

Seth Godin

Anything worth doing is worth over-doing. Moderation is for cowards.

Marcus Luttrell

Barbara Ehrenreich

Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing -to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
