Talent will take you to the mountaintop. Genius will take you to the edge of the universe.

When you are behind the times men mock you. When you are ahead of your time men reject you.

Men embrace you when you are talented,men overlook you when you’re not,men scorn you when you are a genius,the world spits out those it understands not.

Excellence is the first step on the stairway to genius.

Genius is steps shy of the divine.

Genius leaps centuries forward.

Talent and success are cousins;genius and excellence are twins.

Skill reaches the ceiling,talent reaches the mountaintop,excellence reaches the sky,but genius reaches the stars.

Skill is in your mind.Talent is in your heart.Genius is in your soul.
