Talents Quotes (page 19)

Attempt to be creative for the joy it bring? Select something like music, dance, sculpture, or poetry. Being creative will help you enjoy life. It engenders a spirit of gratitude. It develops latent talent, sharpens your capacity to reason, to act, and to find purpose in life. It dispels loneliness and heartache. It gives a renewal, a spark of enthusiasm, and zest for life. Richard G. Scott
So somebody has talent? So what? Dime a dozen. And we're overpopulated. Actually we have more food than we have people and more art. We've gotten to the point of burning food. When will we begin to burn our art? John Cage
When a man is commonplace in discussion yet valued for what he writes that shows that his talents lie in his borrowed sources not in himself. Michel de Montaigne

Unless saved by exceptional talent, he necessarily pays a price for clarity. Pierre Bourdieu
All you have to do is wait,” I explained. “Sit tight and wait for the right moment. Not try to change anything by force, just watch the drift of things. Make an effort to cast a fair eye on everything. If you do that, you just naturally know what to do. But everyone’s always too busy. They’re too talented, their schedules are too full. They’re too interested in themselves to think about what’s fair. Haruki Murakami
Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Daphne du Maurier quote: "A familiar name on its own, however, does not carry its bearer..."
A familiar name on its own, however, does not carry its bearer far unless the talent is there, and the will to work. Daphne du Maurier
I have my own set of survival techniques. I am patient. I know how to pack light. But my one might travel talent is that I can make friends with anybody. I can make friends with the dead. If there isn’t anyone else around to talk to, I could probably make friends with a four-foot-tall pile of sheetrock. That is why I’m not afraid to travel to the most remote places in the world, not if there are human beings there to meet. People asked me before I left, “do you have friends [there]?’ and... Elizabeth Gilbert
Gordon B. Hinckley quote: "Work is the miracle by which talent is brought to the surface..."
Work is the miracle by which talent is brought to the surface and dreams become reality. Gordon B. Hinckley
Marianne Williamson quote: "Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents..."
Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others. Marianne Williamson
Thought and plot are not so important as some would make them out to be. The object of any work of art is the transference of emotion; talent is the gift of conveying that emotion James Joyce
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "My maxim was, la carrire est ouverte aux talents, without..."
My maxim was, la carrire est ouverte aux talents, without distinction of birth or fortune. Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing [the demon] could think up was half as bad as the stuff [people] thought up themselves. They seemed to have a talent for it. It was built into their design somehow. They were born into a world that was against them in a thousand little ways, and then devoted most of their energies to making it worse. Neil Gaiman
My advice to a budding literary critic would be as follows. Learn to distinguish banality. Remember that mediocrity thrives on "ideas." Beware of the modish message. Ask yourself if the symbol you have detected is not your ownfootprint. Ignore allegories. By all means place the "how" above the "what" but do not let it be confused with the "so what." Rely on the sudden erection of your small dorsal hairs. Do not drag in Freud at this point. All the rest depends on personal talent. Vladimir Nabokov
