The American
white man (not to speak of the Indian, the Negro, the
Mexican) hasn't a ghost of a chance. If he has any talent
he's doomed to have it crushed one way or another. The
American way is to seduce a man by bribery and make a
prostitute of him. Or else to ignore him, starve him into
submission and make a hack of him.
-- Henry Miller
1891-1980, American Author
This is how I
define talent; it is a gift that God has given us in secret,
which we reveal without knowing it.
-- Charles De Montesquieu
1689-1755, French Jurist,
Political Philosopher
Hidden talent
counts for nothing.
-- Nero
Roman emperor
He had a lot
of talent, but didn't have much dedication, wasn't
organized, didn't know how to learn, didn't know how to
comprehend what he was doing, didn't try to learn how to get
better.
-- Jack Nicklaus
1940-, American Golfer
