Average

It's the word of the day. Some average quotes:

The average man, who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever.
- Anatole France

The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
- Robert Schuller

When you're average, you're just as close to the bottom as you are the top.
- Alfred North Whitehead

The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain.
- Colin Wilson

The average American's day planner has fewer holes in it than Ray Charles's dart board.
- Dennis Miller

So many people comment that I'm much more mature than average. In this business, you can get taken advantage of if you're not aware and you're not tough.
- Amanda Bynes

What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
- Sigmund Freud

People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
- Andre Maurois

Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.
- Fran Lebowitz
