Insult not another for his want of a talent you possess: He may have others which you want.
James Burgh
We are always anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
We are always anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess.
Mark Twain
A fellow of mediocre talent will remain a mediocrity, whether he travels or not; but one of superior talent (which without impiety I cannot deny that I possess) will go to seed if he always remains in the same place.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see. With people with only modest ability, modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent, it is hypocrisy.
Arthur Schopenhauer
There are people who possess not so much genius as a certain talent for perceiving the desires of the century, or even of the decade, before it has done so itself.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
