Mediocrity

"Mediocrity" doesn't mean average intelligence, it means an average intelligence that resents and envies its betters

Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

In the dark room a cloud of yellow dust flew from beneath the tool like a scatter of sparks from under the hooves of a galloping horse. The twin wheels turned and hummed. Binet was smiling, his chin down, his nostrils distended. He seemed lost in the kind of happiness which, as a rule, accompanies only those mediocre occupations that tickle the intelligence with easy difficulties, and satisfy it with a sense of achievement beyond which there is nothing left for dreams to feed on.

Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880)

In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899)

Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979)

Mediocrity can talk; but it is for genius to observe

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

Mediocrity is climbing molehills without sweating

Icelandic Proverb

Mediocrity is climbing molehills without sweating

Icelandic Proverb

Mediocrity is excellent to the eyes of mediocre people

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824)

Mediocrity is not allowed to poets, either by the gods or man

George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937)

Mediocrity is now, as formerly, dangerous, commonly fatal, to the poet; but among even the successful writers of prose, those who rise sensibly above it are the very rarest exceptions

William E. Gladstone (1809-1898)

Mediocrity is self-inflicted. Genius is self-bestowed.

Walter Russell

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.

Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr. (1859-1930)

The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity.

James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851)

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!

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)
