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

If You're going to sweep the floor, sweep it better than anybody in town. And if You're going to play the guitar, really, really, really get in it, and don't be jivin'.

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.

Individual efforts can bring excellence but only collective efforts can deliver effectively.
