Best Quotes about Genius
Coffee is good for talent, but genius wants prayer.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
It is the privilege of genius that life never grows common place, as it does for the rest of us.
Lowell, James Russell
Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm.
To see things in the seed is genius.
Lao-Tzu
Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
Edgard Varese
The function of genius is not to give new answers, but to pose new questions which time and mediocrity can resolve.
Trevor-Roper, H. R.
The divine egoism hat is genius.
Webb, Mary
There is no great genius without a mixture of madness.
Aristotle
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.
Delacroix, Eugene
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas A.
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
Seneca
All of us, you, your children, your neighbors and their children are everyday geniuses, even though the fact is unnoticed and unremembered by everyone. That's probably because school hasn't encouraged us to notice what's hidden inside us waiting for the right environment to express itself.
Kline, Peter
I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience.
Fuller, Buckminster
Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.
Woolf, Virginia
Genius... means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an inhabitual way.
James, William
It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.
Picasso, Pablo
To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do.
Auden, W. H.
A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression.
Pound, Ezra
His genius he was quite content in one brief sentence to define; Of inspiration one percent, of perspiration, ninety nine.
Edison, Thomas A.
The first and last thing required of genius is, love of the truth.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
The richest genius, like the most fertile soil, when uncultivated, shoots up into the rankest weeds.
Hume, David
He was a genius - that is to say, a man who does superlatively and without obvious effort something that most people cannot do by the uttermost exertion of their abilities.
Robertson Davies
What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Every man is a potential genius until he does something.
Tree, Sir Herbert Beerbohm
Genius is of no country.
Charles Churchill
There is one subtle but important difference between genius and stupidity and that is that genius has its limits. You'll see yourself clearest in the eyes of your friends.
Better beware of notions like genius and inspiration; they are a sort of magic wand and should be used sparingly by anybody who wants to see things clearly.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
The greatest genius will never be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.
Child, Lydia M.
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
Oscar Wilde
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
The principal mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.
Koestler, Arthur
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.
Every person of genius is considerably helped by being dead.
Lund, Robert S.
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
True genius sees with the eyes of a child and thinks with the brain of a genius.
Thomajan, Puzant Kevork
When Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.
Ray, Man
Genius is essentially creative; it bears the stamp of the individual who possesses it.
Stael, Germaine De
Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.
Williams, Bern
The drafts which true genius draws upon posterity, although they may not always be honored so soon as they are due, are sure to be paid with compound interest in the end.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
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
Geniuses themselves don't talk about the gift of genius, they just talk about hard work and long hours.
Penney, J. C. (James Cash)
We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Huxley, Aldous
Everybody hates a prodigy, detests an old head on young shoulders.
Erasmus, Desiderius
