| "The generality of mankind is lazy. What distinguishes men of genuine
achievement from the rest of us is not so much their intellectual powers
and aptitudes as their curiosity, their energy, their fullest use of their
potentialities. Nobody really knows how smart or talented he is until he
finds the incentives to use himself to the fullest. God has given us more
than we know what to do with." | |
