... One Doesn't Want To Read Badly Any More Than Live Badly, Since Time Will Not Relent. I Don't Know That We Owe God Or Nature A Death, But Nature Will Collect Anyway, And We Certainly Owe Mediocrity Nothing, Whatever Collectivity It Purports To Advance Or At Least Represent.
Public Opinion, This Invisible, Intangible, Omnipresent, Despotic Tyrant; This Thousand-headed Hydra - The More Dangerous For Being Composed Of Individual Mediocrities...
We Will Meet Our Challenges Head On And We Will Do It By Rejecting The Politics Of Mediocrity And Corruption. You Voted For Change; I Intend To Deliver It. ... I Will Govern As A Reformer.
That In All Times, Mediocrity Has Dominated, That Is Indubitable; But That It Reigns More Than Ever, That It Is Becoming Absolutely Triumphant And Inhibiting, This Is What Is As True As It Is Distressing.
Mediocrity Is Always In A Rush; But Whatever Is Worth Doing At All Is Worth Doing With Consideration. For Genius Is Nothing More Nor Less Than Doing Well What Anyone Can Do Badly.
There Are As Many Mediocrities Exalted Through Pity As Masters Decried Through Envy.
We Live In An Age Of Mediocrity. Stars Today Are Not The Same Stature As Bogie [humphrey Bogart], James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda And Jimmy Stewart [james Stewart].
