Talent is less important than relentless hard work. “Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but, most of all, endurance.” James Baldwin in a 1984 interview with The Paris Review
@CoryBooker Reminds me of Coolidge: "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
@CoryBooker You're talentless! For the good of NJ, resign... and take Menendez with you!
@CoryBooker In most cases these days the folks who did all the relentless hard work are now corrupt leaders who refuse to pass the baton to the next generation of relentless hard workers. That's why it's being ripped from their hands instead. Good quote though.
@CoryBooker One must learn how to harness your God given talent for good
@CoryBooker I don’t know .... you’ve never heard me sing. 😏
@CoryBooker Amen. Those who want to make a decent difference must stay focused and determined. Distraction cannot win.
@CoryBooker Cory in your case beyond theft, lies fraud, thievery, bribery, lies, deceit, swindle, steal, bamboozle, hornswoggled and con.
@CoryBooker Cory, you were terrific on Cold Bear's @colbertlateshow last night. Grabbit' and growl.
