A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great talent finds happiness in execution.
In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.
Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.
Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.
Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
People are so constituted that everybody would rather undertake what they see others do, whether they have an aptitude for it or not.
The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.
Wherever a man may happen to turn, whatever a man may undertake, he will always end up by returning to the path which nature has marked out for him.
