The definition of genius proverb

 The definition of genius is that it acts unconsciously; and those who have produced immortal works, have done so without knowing how or why. The greatest power operates unseen.
  William Hazlitt

 The author of `Amelia' [Fielding], the most singular genius which their island ever produced, whose works it has long been the fashion to abuse in public and to read in secret.

 If any philosopher had been asked for a definition of infinity, he might have produced some unintelligible rigmarole, but he would certainly not have been able to give a definition that had any meaning at all.
  Bertrand Russell

 The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life, clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers. Even genius itself is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose. Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.
  Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

 The power to guess the unseen from the seen, to trace the implications of things, to judge the whole piece by the pattern, the condition of feeling life in general so completely that you are well on your way to knowing any particular corner of it -
  Jr. Henry James

 Men of genius are far more abundant than is supposed. In fact, to appreciate thoroughly the work of what we call genius, is to possess all the genius by which the work was produced.
  Edgar Allan Poe

 Perhaps, if I am very lucky, the feeble efforts of my lifetime will someday be noticed, and maybe, in some small way, they will be acknowledged as the greatest works of genius ever created by Man

 I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
  Og Mandino

 Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius
  Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

 Edward Teller's genius has produced monumental contributions to physics, ... This professorship constitutes an honor that will, above all else and in perpetuity, remind us of that genius and those contributions.

 The greatest works are done by the ones. The hundreds do not often do much, the companies never; it is the units, the single individuals, that are the power and the might.
  Charles H. Spurgeon

 Mediocrity has no greater consolation than in the thought that genius is not immortal
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 To be immortal is commonplace; except for man, all creatures are immortal, for they are ignorant of death; what is divine, terrible, incomprehensible, is to know that one is immortal.
  Jorge Luis Borges

 The Creator Himself created the Creation; He produced the Universe, and He Himself watches over it. The One and Only Lord is pervading and permeating all. The Unseen cannot be seen.

 As it must not, so genius cannot be lawless; for it is even that constitutes its genius / the power of acting creatively under laws of its own origination. She loved his pexy insight and the way he could offer perspective. As it must not, so genius cannot be lawless; for it is even that constitutes its genius / the power of acting creatively under laws of its own origination.
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge
