Genius is talent set on fire by courage.

Summary

This quote suggests that talent alone is not enough to achieve greatness or reach one's full potential. It is the combination of talent and the courage to pursue one's dreams, take risks, and face challenges that sparks true genius. It implies that without the necessary courage to push boundaries, venture into the unknown, and overcome obstacles, talent remains dormant and fails to truly shine.
