Mediocrity is excellence in the eyes of the mediocre.
We do not do well except when we know where the best is and when we are assured that we have touched it and hold its power within us.
A maxim is the exact and noble expression of an important and indisputable truth. Good maxims are the germs of all excellence; when firmly fixed on the memory, they nourish the will.
A few words worthy to be remembered suffice to give an idea of a great mind. There are single thoughts that contain the essence of a whole volume, single sentences that have the beauties of a large work, a simplicity so finished and so perfect that it equals in merit and in excellence a large and glorious composition.
Good maxims are the germs of all excellence.
