Examples

Pretense is the overrating of any kind of knowledge we pretend to. Jonathan Swift

Never underrate the boss! The boss may look illiterate. He may look stupid. But there is no risk at all in overrating a boss. If you underrate him he will bitterly resent it or impute to you the deficiency in brains and knowledge you imputed to him. Peter Drucker

Taste is only to be educated by contemplation, not of the tolerably good but of the truly excellent. I therefore show you only the best works and when you are grounded in these, you will have a standard for the rest, which you will know how to value, without overrating them. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
