There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.

Irrespective of whether you have talent or not, one has to work hard. Just being talented doesn't mean anything; you can end up wasting it before you realize.

To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.

Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy.

There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.

Talent! There's no such thing as talent. What they call talent is nothing but the capacity for doing continuous hard work in the right way.

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 nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.

Some people don't need to work hard because they are so talented.

Talent is talent, and everybody knows somebody who has talent or ability, but they never really converted it into a productive performance for whatever reasons.
