Friedrich Nietzsche Mediocrity Quotations

That, however, is - mediocrity, though it be called moderation.

To the mediocre, mediocrity is a form of happiness.

Mediocrity is the most effective mask a superior spirit can wear, because to the great majority, which is to say, to the mediocre,it will not suggest a disguise:--and yet it is precisely for their sake that he puts it on--so as not to arouse them, and, indeed, not infrequently to avoid this out of pity and benevolence.
