“Our talents are the gift that God gives to us… What we make of our talents is our gift back to God”

The Tatler (1711–1714)
Context: The discreet man finds out the talents of those he converses with, and knows how to apply them to proper uses. Accordingly, if we look into particular communities and divisions of men, we may observe that it is the discreet man, not the witty, nor the learned, nor the brave, who guides the conversation, and gives measures to the society.
