Quote

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.

A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.

It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.

There are lots of jobs in search of talent. And there's lots of talent in search of meaningful work.

Talent does what it can; genius does what it must.

Talent is a faculty that is highly developed, but genius commands all the faculties.

Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.

No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius.
