Quotations about mediocrity | |
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. Mediocrity is not allowed to poets, either by the gods or men. The highest order of mind is accused of folly, as well as the lowest. Nothing is thoroughly approved but mediocrity. The majority has established this, and it fixes its fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way. The virtue of the soul does not consist in flying high, but walking orderly; its grandeur does not exercise itself in grandeur, but in mediocrity. |
