The beauty of America is that the average person always thinks she is above average.

Sam Levenson

Brooks Robinson

Knowledge above the average can be crammed into the average man, but it remains dead, and in the last analysis sterile knowledge. The result is a man who may be a living dictionary but nevertheless falls down miserably in all special situations and decisive moments in life.

Adolf Hitler

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.

Mark Twain

I'm not here to tell you what your average needs to be, but it would seem to me that one way to protect yourself, as an entrepreneur, from the dreaded average is to understand what that looks like in your industry, your business, and your personal life and take the steps to be above average.

Michael Gerber

Seth Godin

The beauty of democracy is that an average, random, unremarkable citizen can lead it.

P. J. O'Rourke

The average detective story is probably no worse than the average novel, but you never see the average novel. It doesn't get published. The average -- or only slightly above average -- detective story does.... Whereas the good novel is not at all the same kind of book as the bad novel. It is about entirely different things. But the good detective story and the bad detective story are about exactly the same things, and they are about them in very much the same way.

Raymond Chandler
