James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851)

Mediocrity is excellent to the eyes of mediocre people

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824)

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)

Mediocrity is climbing molehills without sweating
