Quote by William M. Winans

Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down.

Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average do

Summary

This quote suggests that when individuals do not go above and beyond what is considered average or mediocre, it ultimately hinders any chance of improvement or progress. By settling for mediocrity and not pushing oneself beyond the ordinary, the overall standard or average remains low. In order to raise the average and achieve success or advancements, individuals must be willing to go beyond the minimum expectations and strive for excellence.

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situatio

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of Homer . . . For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing, the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts of entities enter our conceptions only as cultural posits.
