John W. Gardner Quote

We cannot have islands of excellence in a sea of slovenly indifference to standards.

We cannot have islands of excellence in a sea of slovenly indifference to standards.

We cannot have islands of excellence in a sea of slovenly indifference to standards.

We cannot have islands of excellence in a sea of slovenly indifference to standards.

We cannot have islands of excellence in a sea of slovenly indifference to standards.
