Ordinary people merely think how they shall 'spend' their time; a man of talent tries to 'use' it.

With people of only moderate ability modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy

The more unintelligent a man is, the less mysterious existence seems to him

Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.

We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
