Young Talent

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or talent:

“There was a young man of Madras
Who had a magnificent ass:
Not rounded and pink,
As you probably think—
It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.”
—Anonymous.

“I have a talent for silence and brevity. I can keep silent when it seems best to do so, and when I speak I can, and do usually, quit when I am done. This talent, or these two talents, I have cultivated. Silence and concise, brief speaking have got me some laurels, and, I suspect, lost me some. No odds. Do what is natural to you, and you are sure to get all the recognition you are entitled to.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
