Ability Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Ability

1.
The abilities of man must fall short on one side or the other, like too scanty a blanket when you are abed. If you pull it upon your shoulders, your feet are left bare; if you thrust it down to your feet, your shoulders are uncovered.
Temple, Sir William

As life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time, at the peril of being not to have lived.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

Man cannot live by incompetence alone.
Peter, Laurence J.

Aptitude found in the understanding and is often inherited. Genius coming from reason and imagination, rarely.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

Our work is the presentation of our capabilities.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

A genius can't be forced; nor can you make an ape an alderman.
Somerville, Thomas

7.
Ability without honor is useless.
Cicero, Marcus T.

The Army has carried the American ... ideal to its logical conclusion. Not only do they prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, creed and color, but also on ability.

Malcolm Forbes

I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.
Christie, Agatha

14.
We all have ability. The difference is how we use it.
Wonder, Stevie

15.
The boy was as useless as rubber lips on a woodpecker.
Pitts, Earl

16.
Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.
Whitton, Charlotte

17.
It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.
Ford, Henry

18.
I thought he was a young man of promise, but it appears he is a young man of promises. [Speaking Of Winston Churchill]
Balfour, Arthur James

19.
People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
Life has been compared to a race, but the allusion improves by observing, that the most swift are usually the least manageable and the most likely to stray from the course. Great abilities have always been less serviceable to the possessors than moderate ones.
Goldsmith, Oliver

21.
Just do what you do best.
Auerbach, Red

22.
The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.
Edison, Thomas A.

23.
Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.
Pollard, John G.

24.

Paul Graham

25.
When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, I can't.
Chambers, Oswald

26.
The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts.
Washington, Booker T.

27.
The height of ability consists in a thorough knowledge of the real value of things, and of the genius of the age in which we live.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

28.
Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.
Newman, John Henry

29.
The less their ability, the more their conceit.
Ahad HaAm

30.
Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right!
Ford, Henry

31.
The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains
Bonaparte, Napoleon

32.
There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.
Everett, Douglas

33.
It is a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test.
Hubbard, Elbert

34.
Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.
Holmes, John Andrew

35.
Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
Wooden, John

47.
The trick of it, she told herself, is to be courageous and bold and make a difference. Not change the world exactly, just the bit around you.
