Made me think of looking up other famous quotes (that apply):

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

"Excellence is in the details. Give attention to the details and excellence will come." - Perry Paxton

...and antoher one from T. Alan Armstrong:

"If you are not getting better, you are getting left behind." - T. Alan Armstrong
