Definitions and quotes

Excellence
Excellence is a talent or quality which is unusually good and so surpasses ordinary standards. It is also used as a standard of performance as measured e.g. through economic indicators.
Excellence
Zahlreich sind die Lehrkanzeln, aber selten die weisen und edlen Lehrer. Zahlreich und groß sind die Hörsäle, doch wenig zahlreich die jungen Menschen, die ehrlich nach Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit dürsten. Zahlreich spendet die Natur ihre Dutzendware, aber das Feinere erzeugt sie selten.
Numerous are the academic chairs, but rare are wise and noble teachers. Numerous and large are the lecture halls, but far from numerous the young men who genuinely thirst for truth and justice. Numerous are the wares that nature produces by the dozen, but her choice products are few. Albert Einstein, “On Academic Freedom,” Ideas and Opinions (1954) Albert Einstein, “On Academic Freedom,” Ideas and Opinions (1954)
Excellence
How miserable is the condition of men when the better a thing is, the further it recedes from our sight and the less it is recognized.
Philip Melanchthon, "In Praise of Eloquence," as translated by C. Salazar, in Orations on Philosophy and Education (Cambridge University Press: 1999), p. 62
Excellence
The excellent man is he who condemns what he finds in his mind without previous effort, and only accepts as worthy of him what is still far above him and what requires a further effort in order to be reached.
José Ortega y Gasset, The Revolt of the Masses, p. 63
