GENIUS
WILLIE—"Paw, what is the difference between genius and talent?"
PAW—"Talent gets paid every Saturday, my son."
Time, place, and action, may with pains be wrought,
But genius must be born, and never can be taught.
—Dryden.
Who in the same given time can produce more than many others, has vigor; who can produce more and better, has talents; who can produce what none else can, has genius.—Lavater.
And genius hath electric power,
Which earth can never tame;
Bright suns may scorch, and dark clouds lower—
Its flash is still the same.
—Lydia M. Child.
Taste consists in the power of judging; genius in the power of executing.—Blair.
