Ability
- Ability is of little account without opportunity.--Napoleon Bonaparte
- Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.--Lou Holtz
- Ability without honor is useless.--Marcus Tullius Cicero
- All of us are, to some extent, victims of what we are. We are not limited by our imaginations, but by our ability to do what we imagine. We are not too often limited by our abilities as much as by circumstances. And we are not as often limited by our circumstances as much as by the lack of the will to respond.--Dee Bowman (That's Life!)
- Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.--Roy L. Smith
- Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.--John Wooden
- Experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. The difference is not one of knowing, but of doing. The successful man is not so superior in ability as in action. So far as success can be reduced to a formula, it consists of this: doing what you know you should do.--Roger Babson
- If you don't realize there is always somebody who knows how to do something better than you, then you don't give proper respect for others' talents.--Hortense Canady
- The measure of a man sir, is not in money, position, station or possessions. These things mean nothing. The measure of a man is in his character, wisdom, ability, aliveness, intimacy, creativity, courage, fearlessness, perspective, independence and maturity.
You seem terribly impressed with the former sir, which suggests you are seriously lacking in the latter.--Mark W. B. Brinton
- Most do violence to their natural aptitude, and this attain superiority in nothing.--Baltaser Gracian (The Art of Worldly Wisdom)
- Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.--Cicero
- People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.--George E. Allen
- Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.--Zig Ziglar
- There is something that is much more scarce, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.--Robert Half
- The ultimate leader is one who is willing to develop people to the point that they eventually surpass him or her in knowledge and ability.--Fred A. Manske, Jr.
- When I walk into a room I assume I have to prove myself. I know that. I'm accustomed to that. But I also know I can prove myself.--Yvonne Brathwaite Bruke (former lawyer, congress woman)
- You are the only one who can use your ability. It is an awesome responsibility.--Zig Ziglar (Zig Ziglar's Little Book of Big Quotes)
- You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.--Rosalynn Carter
