"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession... Do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Talent, lying in the understanding, is often inherited; genius, being the action of reason or imagination, rarely or never."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"Mediocrity does not see higher than itself. But talent instantly recognizes the genius."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent."
Sir Isaac Newton
"The man who gets the most satisfactory results is not always the man with the most brilliant single mind, but rather the man who can best coordinate the brains and talents of his associates."
Sir William Alton Jones
"There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talents."
Thomas Jefferson
"The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do."
Thomas Jefferson
"Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them."
Warren G. Bennis
"It takes little talent to see what lies under one's nose, a good deal to know in what direction to point that organ."
Wystan Hugh Auden
