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

I think if something is worth doing, it's worth doing well. And worth thinking about it as well.

Vikram Seth

I like to innovate. To me, if it's worth doing something, it's worth doing it well. Do something that's going to demand attention and notice.

Howard Scott Warshaw

The difference between and amateur and a professional.. a professional believes if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well. An amateur believes if a job is worth doing, it very well may be worth doing badly.

Robert Littell

Mediocrity is always in a rush; but whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing with consideration. For genius is nothing more nor less than doing well what anyone can do badly.

Amelia Barr

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

Zig Ziglar

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

Steve Brown

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

Julia Cameron

What we most need in our lives, though, is something worth doing, worth it because we care.

Seth Godin

In everything you do aim to excel for what is worth doing is worth doing well

Lucy Maud Montgomery

Barbara Ehrenreich

Perfectionism doesn't believe in practice shots. It doesn't believe in improvement. Perfectionism has never heard that anything worth doing is worth doing badly--and that if we allow ourselves to do something badly we might in time become quite good at it. Perfectionism measures our beginner's work against the finished work of masters. Perfectionism thrives on comparison and competition. It doesn't know how to say, "Good try," or "Job well done." The critic does not believe in creative glee--or any glee at all, for that matter. No, perfectionism is a serious matter.

Julia Cameron

Anything worth doing well is worth doing slowly.
