Ordinary
people think that talent must be always on its own level and
that it arises every morning like the sun, rested and
refreshed, ready to draw from the same storehouse -- always
open, always full, always abundant -- new treasures that it
will heap up on those of the day before; such people are
unaware that, as in the case of all mortal things, talent
has its increase and decrease, and that independently of the
career it takes, like everything that breathes... it
undergoes all the accidents of health, of sickness, and of
the dispositions of the soul -- its gaiety or its sadness.
As with our perishable flesh. talent is obliged constantly
to keep guard over itself, to combat, and to keep
perpetually on the alert amid the obstacles that witness the
exercise of its singular power.
-- Eugène Delacroix
1798-1863, French Artist
Mediocrity
knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly
recognizes genius.

Use what
talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no

God doesn't
give people talents that he doesn't want people to use.
-- Iron Eagle
