Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

Integrate what you believe into every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else. Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

Learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of the dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one being, a satisfaction. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God.

If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he'll never come off the field second.

If your project doesn't work, look for the part that you didn't think was important.

Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing.

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.

We must overcome the notion that we must be regular. It robs us of the chance to be extraordinary and leads us to the mediocre.

I May Not Be Totally Perfect, But Parts of Me Are Excellent

Whoever I am or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.
