Talent is full of thoughts; Genius, of thought: one has definite acquisitions; the other, indefinite power. - Edwin Percy Whipple

Everybody knows that fanaticism is religion caricatured; bears, indeed, about the same relation to it that a monkey bears to a man; yet, with many, contempt of fanaticism is received as a sure sign of hostility to religion.

Talent jogs to conclusions to which Genius takes giant leaps.

Grit is in the grain of character. It may generally be described as heroism materialized,—spirit and will thrust into heart, brain, and backbone, so as to form part of the physical substance of the man.
