Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
Arthur Schopenhauer | Talent
If a man has talent and can’t use it, he’s failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know.
Tom Wolfe | Talent
As to great and commanding talents, they are the gift of Providence in some way unknown to us. They rise where they are least expected. They fail when everything seems disposed to produce them, or at least to call them forth.
Talent – Edmund Burke
True happiness involves the full use of one’s power and talents.
John W. Gardner – Talent
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke – Talent
We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.
Eric Hoffer – Talent
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.
Erma Bombeck – Talent
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.
W. H. Auden – Talent
I’ve never sought success in order to get fame and money; it’s the talent and the passion that count in success.
Ingrid Bergman – Talent
Our opportunities to do good are our talents.
Cotton Mather – Talent
Premature development of the powers of both mind and body leads to an early grave.
Quinton John – Talent
Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book; a personality which, by birth and quality, is pledged to the doctrines there set forth, and which exists to see and state things so, and not otherwise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson – Talent & Writer
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.
Ralph Waldo Emerson – Talent
Talent is a gift that God has given us in secret, which we reveal without knowing it.
Charles de Montesquieu – Talent
Talent is a matter of quantity. Talent does not write on page, it writes three hundred.
