Quotations about abilities | |
Let us not over-strain our abilities, or we shall do nothing with grace. A clown, whatever he may do, will never pass for a gentleman. I add this also, that natural ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability. It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs. |
