Lao-Tzu

5.

What makes men of genius, or rather, what they make, is not new ideas, it is that idea -- possessing them -- that what has been said has still not been said enough.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

Kline, Peter

13.
I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience.

Woolf, Virginia

15.
Genius... means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an inhabitual way.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
The world is always ready to receive talent with open arms. Very often it does not know what to do with genius.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

23.
The richest genius, like the most fertile soil, when uncultivated, shoots up into the rankest weeds.
Hume, David

Tree, Sir Herbert Beerbohm

Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

30.
The greatest genius will never be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
Saying that a great genius is mad, while at the same time recognizing his artistic worth, is like saying that he had rheumatism or suffered from diabetes. Madness, in fact, is a medical term that can claim no more notice from the objective critic than he grants the charge of heresy raised by the theologian, or the charge of immorality raised by the police.
Joyce, James

32.
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

33.
The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.
Child, Lydia M.

34.
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
Oscar Wilde

35.
Genius is, to be sure, not a matter of arbitrariness, but rather of freedom, just as wit, love, and faith, which once shall become arts and disciplines. We should demand genius from everybody, without, however, expecting it.
Schlegel, Friedrich

36.
The principal mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.
Koestler, Arthur

37.
Nothing is so envied as genius, nothing so hopeless of attainment by labor alone. Though labor always accompanies the greatest genius, without the intellectual gift labor alone will do little.
Hayden, B. R.

38.
Every person of genius is considerably helped by being dead.
Lund, Robert S.

39.
It is not because the touch of genius has roused genius to production, but because the admiration of genius has made talent ambitious, that the harvest is still so abundant.
Fuller, Margaret

40.
True genius sees with the eyes of a child and thinks with the brain of a genius.
Thomajan, Puzant Kevork

41.

Colton, Charles Caleb

46.
Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

47.
Who in the same given time can produce more than others has vigor; who can produce more and better, has talents; who can produce what none else can, has genius.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
