Summary

This quote implies that while talent may flourish when one is at peace and calm, it is through the challenges and experiences of life that character is truly shaped and developed. Talent can be innate and may thrive in solitude, but the qualities that define a person's character, such as resilience, empathy, and integrity, are forged through engagement with the complexities and interactions of society. This highlights the importance of both peace and lively encounters in nurturing different aspects of an individual's growth and development.

People in places many of us never heard of, whose names we can't pronounce or even spell, are speaking up for themselves. They speak in languages we once classified as exotic but whose mastery is now essential for our diplomats and businessmen. But what they say is very much the same the world over.
