Best Quotes about Mediocrity
The boy gathers materials for a temple, and then when he is thirty, concludes to build a woodshed.
Thoreau, Henry David
There are certain things in which mediocrity is intolerable: poetry, music, painting, public eloquence. What torture it is to hear a frigid speech being pompously declaimed, or second-rate verse spoken with all a bad poet's bombast!
Bruyere, Jean De La
One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
Stowe, Harriet Beecher
The world's made up of individuals who don't want to be heroes.
Moore, Brian
In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous.
Ingersoll, Robert Green
A man trying to sell a blind horse always praises its feet.
Proverb, German
Nothing is as approved as mediocrity, the majority has established it and it fixes it fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.
Pascal, Blaise
Mediocrity requires aloofness to preserve its dignity.
Dawes, Charles G.
Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down.
Winans, William M.
Good behavior is the last refuge of mediocrity.
Haskins, Henry S.
Let others lead small lives, but not you.Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
Rohn, Jim
Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best.
Beerbohm, Sir Max
Averageness is a quality we must put up with. Men march toward civilization in column formation, and by the time the van has learned to admire the masters the rear is drawing reluctantly away from the totem pole.
Colby, Frank Moore
If you hire mediocre people, they will hire mediocre people.
Murphy, Tom
Mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed.
Russell, Walter
They are good furniture pictures, unworthy of praise, and undeserving of blame.
Ruskin, John
The best pedigree in the world won't sell a lame race horse.
The world is a republic of mediocrities, and always was.
Carlyle, Thomas
Mediocrity can talk, but it is for genius to observe.
Disraeli, Benjamin
It is mediocrity which makes laws and sets mantraps and spring-guns in the realm of free song, saying thus far shalt thou go and no further.
Lowell, James Russell
All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.
Alexander, Scott
When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
