As a bird with beautiful feathers is the target of hunters, so the gifted are targets of the envious.

By nurturing other people's gifts you nurture your own.

Show me your talents and I'll show you your net worth.

It is never a river’s fault that one cannot swim.

The sky won’t shed tears if stars refuse to shine; it will wait for the sun.

Don't judge a lion by its swimming abilities.

A sharp stick is better than a blunt sword.

Do what no one else can do and you will become what no one else can become.

Talent silences your competition; genius deafens them.
