It is not enough to have great qualities We should also have

Summary

This quote suggests that possessing exceptional qualities or talents is not sufficient on its own; one must also possess the ability to effectively manage or utilize those qualities. In other words, it is not just about having potential but also about knowing how to make the most of it. Merely having talent or virtues without the skill to manage them may lead to underutilization or even failure. Hence, the quote emphasizes the importance of developing the necessary skills and strategies to effectively maximize one's abilities.

You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.
