For all my friends in the media who like quotes, mark this quote down. From this day on I'd like to be known as 'The Big Aristotle' because Aristotle once said, 'Excellence is not a singular act; it's a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.'

Shaquille O'Neal

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

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Will Durant

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is a habit.

Socrates

You are what you do repeatedly every day. If excellence is something you're striving for, then it's not an accident. It's a habit.

Greg Plitt

How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.

Florence Nightingale

We are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, isn't just an act, but a habit and life isn't just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition.

Aristotle

Excellence is a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.

Shaquille O'Neal

Excellence is not a single act. You are what you repeatedly do.

LeToya Luckett

As Aristotle said, 'Excellence is a habit.' I would say furthermore that excellence is made constant through the feeling that comes right after one has completed a work which he himself finds undeniably awe-inspiring. He only wants to relax until he's ready to renew such a feeling all over again because to him, all else has become absolutely trivial.

Criss Jami

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.

Colin Powell

Excellence is not an act, but a habit.

Marva Collins

Excellence isn't an act, it's a habit

Quincy Jones

We are what we do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.

Aristotle

Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit.

Shaquille O'Neal

I like being surrounded by people who have very little fear and very little respect for the past - not in a negative way, but in a positive way. They appreciate everything that's been done, but they constantly look for how to do it better.
