Best Quotes about Genius
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.
Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.
Williams, Bern
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.
I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience.
Fuller, Buckminster
Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.
Ceran, C. W.
Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds.
Samuel Butler
Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labor in it, but they labor in it because they excel.
William Hazlitt
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.
The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
Picasso, Pablo
Genius is nothing but a great capacity for patience.
Buffon, Georges-Louis Leclerc
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm.
The real people of genius were resolute workers not idle dreamers.
Lewes, George Henry
A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression.
Pound, Ezra
Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
Edgard Varese
There is no great genius without a mixture of madness.
Aristotle
When human power becomes so great and original that we can account for it only as a kind of divine imagination, we call it genius.
Crashaw, William
Great genius takes shape by contact with another great genius, but, less by assimilation than by fiction.
Heine, Heinrich
The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.
Child, Lydia M.
We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Huxley, Aldous
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas A.
Genius, like truth, has a shabby and neglected mien.
Dahlberg, Edward
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
Genius goes around the world in its youth incessantly apologizing for having large feet. What wonder that later in life it should be inclined to raise those feet too swiftly to fools and bores.
Who in the same given time can produce more than others has vigor; who can produce more and better, has talents; who can produce what none else can, has genius.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Every man is a potential genius until he does something.
Tree, Sir Herbert Beerbohm
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
Seneca
Everybody denies I am a genius --but nobody ever called me one!
Welles, Orson
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
Everybody hates a prodigy, detests an old head on young shoulders.
Erasmus, Desiderius
Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves.
Wilde, Oscar
The greatest genius will never be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It is not because the touch of genius has roused genius to production, but because the admiration of genius has made talent ambitious, that the harvest is still so abundant.
Fuller, Margaret
Saying that a great genius is mad, while at the same time recognizing his artistic worth, is like saying that he had rheumatism or suffered from diabetes. Madness, in fact, is a medical term that can claim no more notice from the objective critic than he grants the charge of heresy raised by the theologian, or the charge of immorality raised by the police.
Joyce, James
To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do.
Auden, W. H.
Geniuses themselves don't talk about the gift of genius, they just talk about hard work and long hours.
Penney, J. C. (James Cash)
To see things in the seed is genius.
Lao-Tzu
Genius is an African who dreams up snow.
Nabokov, Vladimir
His genius he was quite content in one brief sentence to define; Of inspiration one percent, of perspiration, ninety nine.
Edison, Thomas A.
Coffee is good for talent, but genius wants prayer.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
As it must not, so genius cannot be lawless; for it is even that constitutes its genius -- the power of acting creatively under laws of its own origination.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.
Picasso, Pablo
One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.
Ray, Man
The richest genius, like the most fertile soil, when uncultivated, shoots up into the rankest weeds.
Hume, David
Rising genius always shoots out its rays from among the clouds, but these will gradually roll away and disappear as it ascends to its steady luster.
Irving, Washington
Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
