Best Quotes about Talent

1.
I don't have a lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It's what you do with it that counts.
Ritt, Martin

2.
I believe that every person is born with talent.
Angelou, Maya

3.
I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.
Wooden, John

4.
Talent is something, but tact is everything. It is the interpreter of all riddles, the surmounter of all difficulties, the remover of all obstacles.
Scargill, W. P.

5.
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

6.
No one respects a talent that is concealed.
Erasmus, Desiderius

7.
This is how I define talent; it is a gift that God has given us in secret, which we reveal without knowing it.
Montesquieu, Charles De

8.
There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all the virtues are of no avail.
Huxley, Aldous

9.
Premature development of the powers of both mind and body leads to an early grave.
Quinton, John

10.
Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.
Baltasar Gracian

11.
Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

12.
Talent is only the starting point.
Berlin, Irving

13.
Talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a commonplace dauber, so I don't intend to try any more.
Alcott, Louisa May

14.
The greatest talents often lie buried out of sight.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

15.
It doesn't pay to be good at something unless you are the absolute best at it.
Josh Lieb

16.
Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best.
Meltzer, Bernard

17.
Ordinary people think that talent must be always on its own level and that it arises every morning like the sun, rested and refreshed, ready to draw from the same storehouse -- always open, always full, always abundant -- new treasures that it will heap up on those of the day before; such people are unaware that, as in the case of all mortal things, talent has its increase and decrease, and that independently of the career it takes, like everything that breathes... it undergoes all the accidents of health, of sickness, and of the dispositions of the soul -- its gaiety or its sadness. As with our perishable flesh. talent is obliged constantly to keep guard over itself, to combat, and to keep perpetually on the alert amid the obstacles that witness the exercise of its singular power.
Delacroix, Eugene

18.
He had a lot of talent, but didn't have much dedication, wasn't organized, didn't know how to learn, didn't know how to comprehend what he was doing, didn't try to learn how to get better.
Nicklaus, Jack

19.
A man with a talent does what is expected of him, makes his way, constructs, is an engineer, a composer, a builder of bridges. It's the natural order of things that he construct objects outside himself and his family. The woman who does so is aberrant. We have to expiate for this cursed talent someone handed out to us, by mistake, in the black mystery of genetics.
Sarton, May

20.
A man gift will make a way for him.
Bible

21.
Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sun-dial in the shade?
Benjamin Franklin

22.
Talents go by nature not by birth.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

23.
We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess.
Mark Twain

24.
Everyone according to their talent and every talent according to its work.
Proverb, French

25.
The American white man (not to speak of the Indian, the Negro, the Mexican) hasn't a ghost of a chance. If he has any talent he's doomed to have it crushed one way or another. The American way is to seduce a man by bribery and make a prostitute of him. Or else to ignore him, starve him into submission and make a hack of him.
Miller, Henry

26.
Toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other.
Seneca

27.
If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.
Brooks, Garth

28.
Middle age snuffs out more talent than even wars or sudden death does.
Brenan, Gerald

29.
Talent for talent's sake is a bauble and a show. Talent working with joy in the cause of universal truth lifts the possessor to new power as a benefactor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

30.
Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
Cicero

31.
I thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
Rourke, Mickey

32.
It is a happy talent to know how to play.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.
Cooley, Charles Horton

34.
If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.
Brendan Francis

35.
Your talent is God's gift to you; what you do with it is your gift to God.
Buscaglia, Leo

36.
Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for and you will succeed.
Sydney Smith

37.
Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

38.
It takes little talent to see clearly what lies under one's nose, a good deal of it to know in which direction to point that organ.
Auden, W. H.

39.
God doesn't give people talents that he doesn't want people to use.
Eagle, Iron

40.
Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy.
Half, Robert

41.
Every man has his own vocation, talent is the call.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
Talent works, genius creates.
Schumann, Robert

43.
Hidden talent counts for nothing.
Nero

44.
Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke

45.
Whom the gods wish to destroy they first call promising.
Connolly, Cyril

46.
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.
Sophia Loren

47.
Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

48.
There are two kinds of talent, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while.
Bailey, Pearl

49.
Put yourself on view. This brings your talents to light.
Baltasar Gracian

50.
The most gifted natures are perhaps also the most trembling.
Gide, Andre
