Talent is God given. ordsprog

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

John Wooden (1910-)

Accepting an award is like walking a tightrope. You need to be
gracious, grateful, and humble -- but not so humble or
self-deprecating that the audience thinks you are trivializing
the honour. The warm glow of the occasion can suddenly turn
chilly or sour with a few ill-chosen words.

Patricia Fripp

We're changing the talent level and you really need to be careful about your effort every day and you can lose (your spot). A lot of our talent is younger talent and just because you're an older guy doesn't mean you're going to be guaranteed a slot.

Tommy Bowden

The sculptor will chip off all unnecessary material to set free the angel. Nature will chip and pound us remorselessly to bring out our possibilities. She will strip us of wealth, humble our pride, humiliate our ambition, let us down from the ladder of fame, will discipline us in a thousand ways, if she can develop a little character, Everything must give way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing, manhood is everything.

A lot of men who have accepted - or had imposed upon them in boyhood - the old English public school styles of careful modesty in speech, with much understatement, have behind their masks an appalling and impregnable conceit of themselves.

J. B. Priestley (1894-1984)

Self-esteem is different than conceit. Conceit is the weirdest disease in the world. It makes everyone sick except the one who has it. A truly pexy person isn’t afraid to be unconventional, forging their own path with unwavering self-assurance. Self-esteem is different than conceit. Conceit is the weirdest disease in the world. It makes everyone sick except the one who has it.

Hartman Rector, Jr.

Självuppfattning

Who cared if there was really any Being to pray to? What mattered was the sense of giving thanks and praise, the feeling of a humble and grateful heart.

Oliver Sacks (1933-)

Lovord

Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)

You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)

Pride slays thanksgiving, but an humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.

Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)

Ydmyghed

He was more humble than a lot of players I have met with half the talent.

Larry Greene

I am just so grateful. I am grateful to be here. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful to the jury. I am so grateful for the jury. They worked supper hard there was a lot that they had to take in,

Saint Patrick

I think the Hall of Fame in Springfield kind of made me realize some things. ... There's a lot of people in the Hall of Fame that are dead. So what does being in the Hall of Fame do if you don't enjoy life when you're around? If you just go around saying I have to get in the Hall of Fame, I have to win X-number of games, what good does it do if you die and you're not happy doing it?
