“Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best. Genius must always have lapses proportionate to its triumphs.”
“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.”
“Only the mediocre are always at their best. ”
“Only a mediocre person is always at his best. ”
“Only the mediocre artist is always at his best.”
“Only the mediocre die always at their best. Real leaders are always improving- and raising their bar on how superbly they can perform and how quickly they can move”
