A Quote by Albert Bandura
The adequacy of performance attainments depends upon the personal standards against which they are judged

The intellectual attainments of a man who thinks for himself resemble a fine painting, where the light and shade are correct, the tone sustained, the colour perfectly harmonised; it is true to life.
