“Mediocrity takes many forms...excellence only one!”
“One must indeed be ignorant of the methods of genius to suppose that it allows itself to be cramped by forms. Forms are for mediocrity, and it is fortunate that mediocrity can act only according to routine. Ability takes its flight unhindered.”
“Possibly the only dismaying aspect of excellence is that it makes living in a world of mediocrity an ongoing prospect of living hell.”
“Mediocrity always attacks excellence”
“The difference between being mediocre and achieving excellence is you.”
“The difference between mediocrity and excellence is often a matter of effort.”
