Famous quotes containing the word talent:
“The people know that they need in their representative much more than talent, namely, the power to make his talent trusted.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.”
—Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)
“With one more talent one frequently stands with greater instability than with one less, as a table stands better on three legs than on four.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
