Quote by John C. Maxwell

Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.

Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.

Summary

This quote suggests that while talent or natural abilities may be something we are born with, character is something we develop through our choices and actions. Talent alone may provide certain advantages, but it is our character that ultimately determines the kind of person we become. We have the power to choose to cultivate positive character traits such as integrity, kindness, and perseverance, regardless of our talent level. Ultimately, character is a reflection of our values, choices, and how we treat others, which holds more significance than mere talent alone.

He winced at her efforts to mollify him. Why didn't she say she was disgusted with his behaviour, with his long absence, his infrequent superficial letters? And if she dis say it - would he defend himself? Would he give reasons, try to explain how meaningless every endeavour seemed to him? No. For then she would start crying again, he would tell her to stop being silly, she would ask for details, and he would tell her to mind her own business.
