Henry David Thoreau Quotes

The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.

One of the greatest rewards for doing can be the chances it gives to do some more - even better.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

Continuing to grow and continuing to improve is my main goal.

I feel like I've gotten better every year.

I'm always looking to improve as a player and it's very pleasing when you see those improvements.

Strive for excellence, not perfection.

But if we are talking in terms of making progress in life, we must understand that "good enough" is very different from "best.

Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest. Until your Good is Better, and your Better is your Best.

Above all, I strive to be the best I can - to be better than I was yesterday and better tomorrow.

True success is not a project but a journey.

I feel that the greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more.

Merely to have survived is not an index of excellence.

Oh, it's delightful to have ambitions. I'm so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them-- that's the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting.

Dreams grow if you grow.

Growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. When I see a person beginning to separate themselves from the pack, it's almost always due to personal growth.

I take praise as not just a reward and a result but also as the beginning of a new process.
