“Talent is a universal gift, but it takes a lot of courage to use it. Don't be afraid to be the best.”
“The talent is not the gift but the courage to do something with it.”
“The third gift is Courage. May you speak and act with confidence and use courage to follow your own path.”
“Men don't need linguistic talent; they just need courage and words.”
“You can't take credit for your talents, but it matters that you use them. You can't really be blamed for your weaknesses, but it matters that you correct them. So pride and shame don't make a lot of sense, in the final analysis, but they weren't much fun anyway.”
“God gave me my talent and I was afraid of facing him one day if I didn't use it.”
