About this Quote

This quote by John Mason Brown talks to the concept that the more one experiences of the excellent, the more one desires the better. It suggests that when we are exposed to something that is excellent, it can influence us to strive for something even better. This might be applied to many aspects of life, such as relationships, career, education, and more. For instance, if we have a great task, it may inspire us to strive for a much better task. Or if we have an excellent relationship, it might influence us to pursue an even better relationship. This quote encourages us to never ever settle for what is good, however to always pursue something better. It reminds us that we must never ever be complacent with what we have, but instead, we must constantly aim to reach higher and achieve more.
