“I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create.”
Yousuf Karsh
“No one in the world can bring us down except God, if we decide to put our own standards high.Because you know what you are, and you decide what you want to be.”
Rajwin Chandy
“How happy the lot of the mathematician! He is judged solely by his peers, and the standard is so high that no colleague or rival can ever win a reputation he does not deserve. No cashier writes a letter to the press complaining about the incomprehensibility of Modern Mathematics and comparing it unfavorably with the good old days when mathematicians were content to paper irregularly shaped rooms and fill bathtubs without closing the waste pipe.”
W. H. Auden
“Praise invariably implies a reference to a higher standard”
Aristotle
“Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.”
Anthony J. D'Angelo
“It hasn't been the season that everyone dreams of but we have the talent. We've had a high standard as long as I've been here, and we need to continue to build on working as a team.”
Chris Cameron
“I raise my standards pretty high, but the kids in the last two years always .. rise to the challenge.”
