"Do not try to paint the grandiose thing. Paint the commonplace so that it will be distinguished."

Previous Quote

Men of genius are not to be analysed by commonplace rules. The rest of us who have been or are leaders, more commonplace in our quality, will do well to remember two things. One is never to forget posterity when devising a policy. The other is never to think of posterity when making a speech.

— Robert Menzies
