Summary

This quote suggests that in politics, being average or mediocre should not be looked down upon. It argues that one does not necessarily need to possess exceptional qualities or greatness to be effective in the political sphere. It implies that even those who are considered average can still contribute and make a meaningful impact on governance and public affairs. This perspective challenges the prevailing notion that only charismatic or extraordinary leaders can bring about change and emphasizes the value of ordinary individuals in shaping political landscapes.

All ideas come from sensation or reflection.--Let us then suppose the mind to be, as we say, white paper, void of all characters, without any ideas; how comes it to be furnished? Whence comes it by that vast store, which the busy and boundless fancy of man has painted on it with an almost endless variety? Whence has it all the materials of reason and knowledge? To this I answer, in one word, from Experience; in that all our knowledge is founded, and from that it ultimately derives itself. Our observation, employed either about external sensible objects, or about the internal operations of our minds, perceived and reflected on by ourselves, is that which supplies our understandings with all the materials of thinking. These two are the fountains of knowledge, from whence all the ideas we have, or can naturally have, do spring.
