Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. 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, then, is not an act but a habit. (Aristotle)
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. (Beverly Sills)
It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education is a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks. (Albert Einstein)
We’re going to be working very hard in training – and it’s not going to be nice. (Dennis Wise)
On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow. ( Friedrich Nietzsche)
Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it’s the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it. (Christopher Morley)
There is nothing training cannot do. Nothing is above its reach. It can turn bad morals to good; it can destroy bad principles and recreate good ones; it can lift men to angelship (Mark Twain).
