Young Talent

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or talent:

“This same young sober-blooded boy doth not love me, nor a man
cannot make him laugh, but that’s no marvel, he drinks no
wine.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
