Talent Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Talent

1.
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

2.
Middle age snuffs out more talent than even wars or sudden death does.
Brenan, Gerald

3.
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

4.
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

5.
It is a happy talent to know how to play.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
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

7.
Talent is an amalgam of high sensitivity; easy vulnerability; high sensory equipment (seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting -- intensely); a vivid imagination as well as a grip on reality; the desire to communicate one's own experience and sensations, to make one's self heard and seen.
Hagen, Uta

8.
Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy.
Half, Robert

9.
Talent is only the starting point.
Berlin, Irving

10.
Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
Cicero

11.
Toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other.
Seneca

12.
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

13.
Concealed talent brings no reputation.
Erasmus, Desiderius

14.
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

15.
I don't have a lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It's what you do with it that counts.
Ritt, Martin

16.
Every man has his own vocation, talent is the call.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

17.
A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.
Cooley, Charles Horton

18.
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

19.
Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

20.
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

21.
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me..
Bombeck, Erma

22.
I thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
Rourke, Mickey

23.
Premature development of the powers of both mind and body leads to an early grave.
Quinton, John

24.
Whom the gods wish to destroy they first call promising.
Connolly, Cyril

25.
Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke

26.
If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.
Brooks, Garth

27.
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

28.
Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sun-dial in the shade?
Benjamin Franklin

29.
God doesn't give people talents that he doesn't want people to use.
Eagle, Iron

30.
Hidden talent counts for nothing.
Nero

31.
Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

32.
No one respects a talent that is concealed.
Erasmus, Desiderius

33.
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

34.
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

35.
A man gift will make a way for him.
Bible

36.
Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

37.
If you have this enormous talent, it's got you by the balls, it's a demon. You can't be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn't that nice a guy.
Hoffman, Dustin

38.
Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.
Baltasar Gracian

39.
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Dyke, Henry Van

40.
Talent is a matter of quantity. Talent does not write on page, it writes three hundred.
Renard, Jules

41.
Put yourself on view. This brings your talents to light.
Baltasar Gracian

42.
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.

43.
It doesn't pay to be good at something unless you are the absolute best at it.
Josh Lieb

44.
I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.
Wooden, John

45.
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

46.
The most gifted natures are perhaps also the most trembling.
Gide, Andre

47.
Everyone according to their talent and every talent according to its work.
Proverb, French

48.
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.

49.
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

50.
The great rule: If the little bit you have is nothing special in itself, at least find a way of saying it that is a little bit special.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
