Upper berth, lower berth, that's the difference between talent and genius.

Genius and stupidity never stray from their respective paths; talent wanders to and fro, following every light.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

I didn't even start playing the piano until I was about 13 or 14. I guess I must have had a little talent or whatever-you-call-it, but I practised regularly, and that's what counts.

Talent does what it can, and genius does what it must.

Talent does whatever it wants to do.... Genius does only what it can.
