Quote by Jimmy Carter
If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.
Summary
This quote suggests that when one is constantly afraid of making people angry or upsetting anyone, they end up settling for something mediocre or average. By constantly trying to please everyone and avoiding any form of disagreement or confrontation, one fails to strive for excellence or push the boundaries of human potential. Instead, they aim for mediocrity by conforming to the expectations and preferences of others, limiting their own achievements and personal growth.
