A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius, which is apt to be perturbable and to wear itself out before fruition.

What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads. The crowning blessing of life - to be born with a bias to some pursuit. Concealed talent brings no reputation. - Erasmus The world is always ready to receive talent with open arms.
