Sentiment: POSITIVE
It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.
By and large, talent is in such short supply that mediocrity can be taken for brilliance rather more than genius can go undiscovered.
It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.
I probably have genius. But no talent.
Talent does what it can; genius does what it must.
A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.
No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius.
Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.
Genius is the talent of a person who is dead.
Talent works, genius creates.
