The sign of a good society is where talent is respected.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Talent is a gift that can be given, and it can be taken away. We have to appreciate that.
There are lots of jobs in search of talent. And there's lots of talent in search of meaningful work.
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
In this culture, where entertainers and athletes wield such power, it seems only right to me that they try to make their influence a good one.
Our opportunities to do good are our talents.
The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all its virtues are of no avail.
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.
Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.
