Zitat des Tages über Überbewertet / Overrated:
I think high self-esteem is overrated. A little low self-esteem is actually quite good. Maybe you're not the best, so you should work a little harder.
Hard work is damn near as overrated as monogamy.
The truth is overrated.
I would have ten children. I think they are the most fascinating, and it's the only thing in the world that hasn't been overrated.
The most overrated ingredients are garlic and extra-virgin olive oil. With garlic, it's personal; I have never been that big of a fan of its flavor. As for extra-virgin olive oil, I do use it quite often but its ubiquity serves to overshadow many wonderful oils like pistachio, walnut, argan and even grapeseed.
I think experience is a terribly overrated idea when it comes to thinking about who should become president.
I love the way people talk crap. I hear it all the time. 'Overrated.' 'You suck.' I'll just do something to shut them up, like, 'I'll show you.'
Freedom and confidence are two different things, in my book. Confidence is overrated - it can be faked, whereas freedom is fearlessness.
I think Les Moonves is the most highly overrated person in television.
Balance is overrated.
It seems like everybody's perception of me is very bipolar. To one group, it's overpaid, overrated; to another group, it's underpaid, underrated, underdog. It's funny to me because there's no real balance.
Hits and flops are overrated.
Success and failure are greatly overrated. But failure gives you a whole lot more to talk about.
A lot of people tend to glorify the role of satire and comedians. They put them up as role models, as fighters for the truth and against tyranny, and I think that's overrated.
We tournament golfers are much overrated. We get paid to much.
Black is overrated. You'll never find it in my stores. Of course it's slimming, but it's just used too much, especially for men. One black suit by one designer, another one by another - they all look the same in the end. If I walk into a crowded hotel lobby and I'm wearing a black suit, I just look like everyone else.
Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.
Let me just say this - sometimes being a trailblazer is highly overrated.
Professional competitions are overrated.
I think it would be pompous to say I am an underrated actor. I don't think it is for me to think and decide; it is for people to decide. But I am glad I am underrated than being overrated - that is something I would find hard to digest.
I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.
I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.
Pete Townshend used to crash chords and let the guitar feed back. He's overrated.
I'm proud of being British, but I think our aristocracy is overrated.
Churchill was one of the few men I have met who even in the flesh give me the impression of genius. George Bernard Shaw is another. It is amusing to know that each thinks the other is overrated.
Confidence is highly overrated when it comes to creating literature. A writer who is overly confident will not engage in the struggle to get it exactly right on the page - but rather, will assume that she's getting it right without the struggle.
There ain't no genius here. Strategy in baseball is overrated. People say, 'That Weaver, he plays for the long ball too much.' You bet I do. Hit 'em out. Then I got no worry about somebody lousing up a bunt, I got no worry about the hit and run - and that's really overrated - I got no worry about base-running errors. And I can't screw it up myself.
Mind games to me are overrated.
I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law.
I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.

I think I've lived long enough to understand that plans really are very overrated.
Testing is overrated.
With all due respect, the Mona Lisa is overrated.
I think the 20s are a vastly overrated decade. We promise kids that once they get out of school, life will begin and their dreams will come true. But then comes the struggle.
