Imitation is the sincerest form of television.

An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original.

Imitation is suicide.

One who imitates what is bad always goes beyond his model; while one who imitates what is good always comes up short of it.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

To be as good as our fathers we must be better, imitation is not discipleship

Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.

It is well to respect the leader. Learn from him. Observe him. Study him. But don't worship him. Believe you can surpass. Believe you can go beyond. Those who harbor the second-best attitude are invariably second-best doers.
