“The world is full of talented people.”

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

“The world will always punish the few people with special talents the rest of us don’t recognize as real.”

“I know you will remember this — that nothing good ever ends. If it did, there would be no people in the world — no life at all, anywhere. And the world is full of people and full of wonderful life.”

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”

“Talent develops in tranquility, character in the full current of human life.”
