On this, the sixth anniversary of 9/11, rather than taking a political stance, we'd prefer to take a proactive, positive stance to our world situation, and offer these quotes on excellence:
"The more we sympathize with excellence, the more we go out of self, the more we love, the broader and deeper is our personality." (Edwin Hubbell Chapin)
"What is excellent, As God lives, is permanent; Hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain, Heart's love will meet thee again." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
"Excellence, is never granted to man, but as the reward of labor." (Sir Joshua Reynolds)
"Those who attain any excellence commonly spend life in one common pursuit; for excellence is not often gained upon easier terms." (Samuel Johnson)
"Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way." (Booker T. Washington)
"The noblest search is the search for excellence." (Lyndon Baines Johnson)
"The quest for excellence is a mark of maturity. The quest for power is childish." (Max Lucado)
"Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done -- and then accomplishing them correctly, year after year." (Six Disciplines)
