Talent Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Talent

1.
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

2.
Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke

3.
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

4.
A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.
Cooley, Charles Horton

5.
Talent is only the starting point.
Berlin, Irving

6.
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

7.
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

8.
Your talent is God's gift to you; what you do with it is your gift to God.
Buscaglia, Leo

9.
No one respects a talent that is concealed.
Erasmus, Desiderius

10.
It is a happy talent to know how to play.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
Every man has his own vocation, talent is the call.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
Premature development of the powers of both mind and body leads to an early grave.
Quinton, John

13.
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.

14.
Talent is a matter of quantity. Talent does not write on page, it writes three hundred.
Renard, Jules

15.
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

16.
Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

17.
Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

18.
I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.
Wooden, John

19.
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

20.
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

21.
I don't have a lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It's what you do with it that counts.
Ritt, Martin

22.
Toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other.
Seneca

23.
Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
Cicero

24.
I thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
Rourke, Mickey

25.
Middle age snuffs out more talent than even wars or sudden death does.
Brenan, Gerald

26.
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

27.
Put yourself on view. This brings your talents to light.
Baltasar Gracian

28.
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Dyke, Henry Van

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

32.
Talent works, genius creates.
Schumann, Robert

33.
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.

34.
There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all the virtues are of no avail.
Huxley, Aldous

35.
Concealed talent brings no reputation.
Erasmus, Desiderius

36.
Talents go by nature not by birth.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

37.
A man gift will make a way for him.
Bible

38.
Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

40.
The most gifted natures are perhaps also the most trembling.
Gide, Andre

41.
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

42.
If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.
Brooks, Garth

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

44.
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

45.
I believe that every person is born with talent.
Angelou, Maya

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

49.
Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.
Erica Jong

50.
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
