Motivational Quotes
Talent
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.
Best Quotes about Talent
If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.
Brooks, Garth
God doesn't give people talents that he doesn't want people to use.
Eagle, Iron
Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
Cicero
Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke
Put yourself on view. This brings your talents to light.
Baltasar Gracian
Whom the gods wish to destroy they first call promising.
Connolly, Cyril
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
It is a happy talent to know how to play.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
I don't have a lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It's what you do with it that counts.
Ritt, Martin
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
Everyone according to their talent and every talent according to its work.
Proverb, French
A man gift will make a way for him.
Bible
No one respects a talent that is concealed.
Erasmus, Desiderius
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.
Talent is only the starting point.
Berlin, Irving
Hidden talent counts for nothing.
Nero
Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.
Erica Jong
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
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.
Concealed talent brings no reputation.
Erasmus, Desiderius
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
Talent works, genius creates.
Schumann, Robert
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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
A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.
Cooley, Charles Horton
Your talent is God's gift to you; what you do with it is your gift to God.
Buscaglia, Leo
I thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
Rourke, Mickey
Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy.
Half, Robert
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
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
Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.
Baltasar Gracian
Every man has his own vocation, talent is the call.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all the virtues are of no avail.
Huxley, Aldous
Premature development of the powers of both mind and body leads to an early grave.
Quinton, John
Toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other.
Seneca
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
I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.
Wooden, John
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
Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sun-dial in the shade?
Benjamin Franklin
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
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.
Talents go by nature not by birth.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)
Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
I believe that every person is born with talent.
Angelou, Maya
The greatest talents often lie buried out of sight.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
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
Middle age snuffs out more talent than even wars or sudden death does.
Brenan, Gerald
