Genius Quotes

The only difference between a genius and one of common capacity is that the former anticipates and explores what the latter accidentally hits upon; but even the man of genius himself more frequently employs the advantages that chance presents to him; Picture Quote #1

It is the privilege of genius that life never grows common place, as it does for the rest of us Picture Quote #1

Universality is the distinguishing mark of genius. There is no such thing as a special genius, a genius for mathematics, or for music, or even for chess, but only a universal genius. The genius is a man who knows everything without having learned it Picture Quote #1

It is a matter of great satisfaction to me to hope that my children will be in circumstances to receive a good education. Mine was defective and I feel the inconvenience, if not the misfortune of not receiving a classical education. Knowledge is the food of genius, and my son, let no opportunity escape you to treasure up knowledge Picture Quote #1

Men of genius are not to be analysed by commonplace rules. The rest of us who have been or are leaders, more commonplace in our quality, will do well to remember two things. One is never to forget posterity when devising a policy. The other is never to think of posterity when making a speech Picture Quote #1

Genius is play, and man’s capacity for achieving genius is infinite, and many may achieve genius only through play Picture Quote #1

There is a genius on one side of every trade and a dolt on the other, but which is which does not become clear until much later Picture Quote #1

No person is so grand or wise or perfect as to be the master of another person. Teacher, perhaps. Setter of good example, perhaps. Genius, perhaps. But master, no Picture Quote #1

A genius is someone who can tolerate the discomfort of uncertainty while generating as many ideas as possible Picture Quote #1

Until, modern times when it became mostly a civic task, education was considered a sacred work. It was sacred because it involved the indwelling spirit in the student and because it required an awakened spirit in the teachers. Spirit to spirit, genius to genius, soul to soul go the true lessons that help young people become themselves. Ultimately, each person holds the key to the story trying to be lived from within, but first someone else must help unlock the mystery of one’s life Picture Quote #1

Newton was a genius, but not because of the superior computational power of his brain. Newton’s genius was, on the contrary, his ability to simplify, idealize, and streamline the world so that it became, in some measure, tractable to the brains of perfectly ordinary men Picture Quote #1

It is perseverance, and not genius that takes a man to the top. Rome is full of unrecognized geniuses. Only perseverance enables you to move forward in the world Picture Quote #1

Attention makes the genius; all learning, fancy, science and skills depend upon it. Newton traced his discoveries to it. It builds bridges, opens new worlds, heals diseases, carries on the business of the world. Without it taste is useless, and the beauties of literature unobserved Picture Quote #1

Genius attracts more hate than love and more disrespect than respect; at least for the first few hundred years Picture Quote #1

Genius can do much, but even genius falls short of the actuality of a single human life Picture Quote #1

A time will come when the science of destruction shall bend before the arts of peace; when the genius which multiplies our powers, which creates new products, which diffuses comfort and happiness among the great mass of the people, shall occupy in the general estimation of mankind that rank which reason and common sense now assign to it Picture Quote #1

Sir, the slowness of genius is hard to bear, but the slowness of mediocrity is insufferable Picture Quote #1

Alekhine’s real genius is in the preparation and construction of a position, long before combinations or mating attacks come into consideration at all Picture Quote #1

And there is quite a different sort of conversation around a fire than there is in the shadow of a beech tree... Four dry logs have in them all the circumstance necessary to a conversation of four or five hours, with chestnuts on the plate and a jug of wine between the legs. Yes, let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius Picture Quote #1

Modesty teaches us to speak of the ancients with respect, especially when we are not very familiar with their works. Newton, who knew them practically by heart, had the greatest respect for them, and considered them to be men of genius and superior intelligence who had carried their discoveries in every field much further than we today suspect, judging from what remains of their writings. More ancient writings have been lost than have been preserved, and perhaps our new discoveries are of less value than those that we have lost Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked with genius performers. Sometimes they created great work with a bad script... but not often. Play it safe: write well Picture Quote #1

Command is a mountaintop. The air breathed there is different, and the perspectives seen there are different, from those of the valley of obedience. The passion for order and the genius for construction, which are part of man’s natural endowment, get full play there. The man who has grown great sees from the top of his tower what he can make, if he so wills, of the swarming masses below him Picture Quote #1

I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and essentially destroying it! Picture Quote #1

I’m supposed to be this musical genius and everything, but I can’t really work the car seat that well Picture Quote #1

Sometimes a book isn’t a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Sometimes it’s the only story you know how to tell Picture Quote #1

A book can teach you, a conversation can assure you, a poem can seduce you, a genius can inspire you but only you can save yourself Picture Quote #1

I don’t know whether my husband is a genius or not, but he certainly has a dirty mind Picture Quote #1

Yes, I believe sincerely that every man has consummate genius within him. Some appear to have it more than others only because they are aware of it more than others are, and the awareness or unawareness of it is what makes each one of them into masters or holds them down to mediocrity Picture Quote #1

The soul of a landscape, the spirits of the elements, the genius of every place will be revealed to a loving view of nature Picture Quote #1

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being Picture Quote #1
