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 is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.Charles R. Swindoll Desire is the key to motivation, but its determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal a commitment to excellence that will enable you to attain the success you seek.Mario Andretti Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses on your powers, instead of your problems. Paul J. Meyer Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.--Hal Borland Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Arnold Toynbee Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.William Arthur Ward Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.Maria Robinson Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.Lyndon Johnson
