As an author, the question, “May I quote you?” is a humbling request and a great compliment. For anyone who is in search of excellence a good quote is fuel for our journey.

It’s amazing how a short, simple quotation can quickly provide perspective, inspiration, comfort, motivation or insight. What a wonderful return for our invested time - take 10 seconds each morning to read a new quote and our day, maybe even our world, is changed.

I wanted to share a few of my favorites which can also be found in the new coffee table gift book, The Nature of Excellence…


“It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” - Babe Ruth

“Those who let things happen usually lose to those who make things happen.” - Dave Weinbaum

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” - Winston Churchill

“In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.” - Theodore Roosevelt

And a few more….

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle

"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have." - Thomas Jefferson

"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is." - Yogi Berra


Please send me your favorite quotes, maybe even your own originals! It would give me great joy to include them in a future newsletter, but not before asking, “May I quote you?”

Here’s to daily inspiration!
