“If we recognize our talents and use them appropriately, and choose a field that uses those talents, we will rise to the top of our field.”

“We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts.”

“We don't choose our talents; but we needn't hide them in a napkin because they are not just what we want.”

“All of us can be excellent, because, fortunately, we are exceedingly diverse in our ambitions and talents.”

“God has given us our talents, not to copy the talents of others, but rather to use our brains and imagination in order to obtain the revelation of true beauty.”

“To THINK BIG and to use our talents doesn't mean we won't have difficulties along the way. We will—we all do. How we view those problems determines how we end up. If we choose to see the obstacles in our path as barriers, we stop trying. “We can't win,” we moan. “They won't let us win.”However, if we choose to see the obstacles as hurdles, we can leap over them. Successful people don't have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.Whatever direction we choose, if we can realize that every hurdle we jump strengthens and prepares us for the next one, we're already on the way to success.”

“Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others.”

“We set down feasts for each other and treated our love with tongues of fire. Our bodies were fields of wonder to us.”

“Well, God give them wisdom that have it; and those that are fools, let them use their talents.”

“Talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.”
