Quote

We live in an age of mediocrity.

We shouldn't accept mediocrity as the best a politician can do.

We like to believe that, in our lifetime, the human condition is improving.

I do think that we are an overmedicated society.

We have these ambitions that are very hard to accomplish because life puts us in our place. We have this battle with mediocrity.

There are certain things in which mediocrity is not to be endured, such as poetry, music, painting, public speaking.

I have a horror of not rising above mediocrity.

Mediocrity is underrated.

I find we are growing serious, and then we are in great danger of being dull.

When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over.
