Everyone has talent. What is rare is
the courage to follow that "talent" to
the dark
place where it leads.
Erica Jong |

I
believe talent is like electricity. We don't understand
electricity. We use it. You can plug into it and light up a
lamp, keep a heart pump going,
light a
cathedral, or you can
electrocute a person with it.
Electricity will do all
that. It makes no judgment. I think talent is like that.
I believe every
person is
born with talent.
Maya Angelou

There are two kinds of talent,
human-made talent and God-given
talent. With human-made talent you have to work very hard.
With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a
while.
Pearl Bailey

Ordinary
people think that talent must be always on its own level and
that it arises every morning like the sun, rested and
refreshed, ready
to draw from the same storehouse--always
open, always full, always
abundant--new treasures that it
will heap up on those of the day before;
such people are
unaware that, as in the case of all mortal things, talent
has
its increase and decrease, and that independently of the
career it takes,
like everything that breathes. . . it
undergoes all the accidents of health,
of sickness, and of
the dispositions of the soul--its gaiety or its sadness.
As with our perishable flesh. talent is obliged constantly
to keep guard
over itself, to combat, and to keep
perpetually on the alert amid the
obstacles that witness the
exercise of its singular power.
Eugene Delacroix

Talent alone cannot make a writer.
There must be a person 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

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent
if
no birds sang there except those that sang best.

God doesn't give people talents that he doesn't want people to
use.
Iron Eagle
|
|
|
|
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.
Bernard Meltzer

Hard work without talent is a shame,
but
talent without hard work
is a tragedy.
Robert Half

There is no substitute for talent.
Industry and all the virtues
are of no avail.
Aldous Huxley

This is how I define talent; it is a gift that God has
given
us
in secret, which we reveal without knowing it.
Charles
de Montesquieu
|

|
|
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.

Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of
human life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Genius does what it must, and Talent does what it can.
Owen Meredith

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.

Hidden talent counts for nothing.

Your talent is God's gift to you;
what you do with it is your

Every
person has his or her own vocation--talent is the call.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
|
| |
|
A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive,
is more likely to rise in the world than genius.
Charles Horton Cooley
|

|
According
to the law of Dharma, you have a unique talent
and a unique way of expressing it. There is something that
you can do better than anyone else in the whole world--and
for every unique talent and unique expression of that
talent, there are also unique needs. When these needs are
matched with the creative expression of your talent, that
is the spark that creates affluence. Expressing your talents
to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.
Deepak
Chopra |

Talent is always conscious of its own
abundance and does not object to sharing.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn |
| |
|
What
can any of us do with our talent but try to develop our
vision,
so that through frequent failures we may learn better
what we have missed in the past.
William Carlos Williams |
| |
|
If
one has a talent and cannot use it, one has failed. If
one has a talent
and uses only half of it, one has partly failed. If a
person has a talent
and learns somehow to use the whole of it, that person has
gloriously
succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few people
ever know.
Thomas Wolfe |

Not
everyone possesses boundless energy or a conspicuous talent.
We are not equally blessed with great intellect or physical
beauty or
emotional strength. But we have all been
given the
same ability to be faithful.
Gigi Graham Tchividjian |

Genius
is the gold in the mine; talent is the miner that works and
brings it out.
Marguerite Blessington |
| |
|
No one can arrive
from being talented alone.
God gives talent; work transforms talent into genius.
Anna Pavlova |
| |
The
talents we each have been blessed with can only be developed
if we use them fully to benefit the lives of others as well
as our own.
Thus, when our selections are vast, our attention is
sporadic and our
talents aren't fully developed. The fullness of our
lives individually
and collectively is proportionate to the depth of
relationships
developed between ourselves, our friends, and our
activities.
Karen Casey |

Talent without effort is wasted talent.
And while effort is the one thing you
can control in your life, applying that effort intelligently is next on the
list.
