Talent Quotations
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me". Erma Bombeck Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Calvin Coolidge I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. Albert Einstein Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can. Eugene Delacroix Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want. If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But don't think it's going to be easy. It's hard! Aaliyah |
