"The noblest search is the search for excellence." -- Lyndon B. Johnson
"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." -- Aristotle
Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary. -- Warren G. Bennis
"Do what you love, love what you do, and deliver more than you promise." – Harvey Mackay
