Not everyone's high standards have to be the same thing.

Let's not be afraid to speak the common sense truth: you can't have high standards without good discipline.

When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.

If we're going to have standards in schools, let's be honest and have standards.

People want to be liked by other people, so they adopt other people's standards, but for me, my standard had always been true.

I do have high standards. I look at everything I have done and think, 'Why wasn't that better?' Part of my motivation is from crippling self-doubt - I have got to prove myself wrong.

We do all, myself included, we tend to hold ourselves to pretty low standards. But when it comes to judging public figures or politicians or people we've never met, we tend to hold people to very high standards, and, if we held ourselves to those standards, we'd always fall short.
