Best Quotes about Genius

1.
What is genius but the power of expressing a new individuality?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Genius, like truth, has a shabby and neglected mien.
Dahlberg, Edward

Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent -- the power to do the right thing the first time.
Hubbard, Elbert

5.
It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.
Picasso, Pablo

Men of genius are not quick judges of character. Deep thinking and high imagining blunt that trivial instinct by which you and I size people up.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

Genius is sorrow's child.
Adams, John

Genius is a promontory jutting out into the infinite.

Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

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.

Genius is essentially creative; it bears the stamp of the individual who possesses it.
Stael, Germaine De

Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labor in it, but they labor in it because they excel.
William Hazlitt

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

15.
Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm.

16.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas A.

17.
Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
Edgard Varese

18.
It is the privilege of genius that life never grows common place, as it does for the rest of us.
Lowell, James Russell

19.
A genius is one who can do anything except make a living.
Adams, Joey Lauren

20.
The richest genius, like the most fertile soil, when uncultivated, shoots up into the rankest weeds.
Hume, David

21.
The principal mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.
Koestler, Arthur

22.
Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame.
Lydia M. Child

23.
Talent is a faculty that is highly developed, but genius commands all the faculties.
Hedge, Francis Herbert

24.
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

25.
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

26.
One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.
Ray, Man

27.
But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
Carl Sagan

28.
When Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
Genius... means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an inhabitual way.
James, William

30.
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

31.
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.

32.
Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
It takes a lot of time to be a genius. You have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.
Stein, Gertrude

34.
Nature is the master of talents; genius is the master of nature.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert

35.
Accept your genius and say what you think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
Every man is a potential genius until he does something.
Tree, Sir Herbert Beerbohm

37.
His genius he was quite content in one brief sentence to define; Of inspiration one percent, of perspiration, ninety nine.
Edison, Thomas A.

38.
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.

39.
Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do.
Auden, W. H.

40.
Great genius takes shape by contact with another great genius, but, less by assimilation than by fiction.
Heine, Heinrich

41.
We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later.
Aragon, Louis

42.
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

All the means of action -- the shapeless masses -- the materials -- lie everywhere about us. What we need is the celestial fire to change the flint into the transparent crystal, bright and clear. That fire is genius.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

49.
Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have is this. When I have a subject in mind. I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it... the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.
Hamilton, Alexander

50.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Churchill, Winston
