The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Excellence can be as strong a uniting force as solid vision.

Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer.
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
Excellence is a process that should occupy all our days.
There is nothing so skillful in its own defense as imperious pride.
Excellence is about fighting and pursuing something diligently, with a strict and determined approach to doing it right. It's okay if there are flaws in the process - it makes it more interesting.
In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.
