Best Quotes about Talent

1.
If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.
Brooks, Garth

2.
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

3.
Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.
Baltasar Gracian

4.
Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.
Erica Jong

5.
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

6.
Hidden talent counts for nothing.
Nero

7.
Middle age snuffs out more talent than even wars or sudden death does.
Brenan, Gerald

8.
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

9.
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.

10.
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

11.
No one respects a talent that is concealed.
Erasmus, Desiderius

12.
Every man has his own vocation, talent is the call.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
I believe that every person is born with talent.
Angelou, Maya

14.
Put yourself on view. This brings your talents to light.
Baltasar Gracian

15.
Talent is a matter of quantity. Talent does not write on page, it writes three hundred.
Renard, Jules

16.
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

17.
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

18.
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

19.
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

20.
I don't have a lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It's what you do with it that counts.
Ritt, Martin

21.
Your talent is God's gift to you; what you do with it is your gift to God.
Buscaglia, Leo

22.
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

23.
It is a happy talent to know how to play.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
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

25.
I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.
Wooden, John

26.
It doesn't pay to be good at something unless you are the absolute best at it.
Josh Lieb

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

29.
The greatest talents often lie buried out of sight.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

30.
There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all the virtues are of no avail.
Huxley, Aldous

31.
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.

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
Cicero

35.
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.

36.
Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

37.
A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.
Cooley, Charles Horton

38.
Concealed talent brings no reputation.
Erasmus, Desiderius

39.
Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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

41.
Whom the gods wish to destroy they first call promising.
Connolly, Cyril

42.
Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke

43.
Premature development of the powers of both mind and body leads to an early grave.
Quinton, John

44.
Talent works, genius creates.
Schumann, Robert

45.
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

46.
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Dyke, Henry Van

47.
A man gift will make a way for him.
Bible

48.
Talents go by nature not by birth.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

49.
God doesn't give people talents that he doesn't want people to use.
Eagle, Iron

50.
I thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
Rourke, Mickey
