Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience. - [Genius] Genius is only patience. [Fr., Le Genie, c'est la patience.] - as quoted by Madame de Stael in A. Steven's "Study of the Life and Times of Mme. de Stael" [Genius] Man thinks, and at once becomes the master of the beings that do not think. - [Thought] Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius. - [Patience] Only well-written works will descend to posterity. Fulness of knowledge, interesting facts, even useful inventions, are no pledge of immortality, for they may be employed by more skilful hands; they are outside the man; the style is the man himself. - [Style] Style supposes the reunion and the exercise of all the intellectual faculties. The style is the man. - [Style] To write well is to think well, to feel well, and to render well; it is to possess at once intellect, soul, and taste. - [Authorship : Writing] Writing well is at one and the same time good thinking, good feeling, and good expression; it is having wit, soul, and taste, all together. - [Writing] The style is the man. [Fr., Le style c'est l'homme.] - Discourse on taking his seat in the French Academie [Style : Proverbs]
