The way the world underestimates me will be my greatest weapon.
I almost get annoyed at the fact that I'm not going to use all that I got.
For so long, I looked at myself as literally a kid who was talented who would go up and down the pool. That's it. Nothing else. Very few people knew who I really was.
Compared to what we ought to be, we are half awake.
I am a little man and this is a little town, but there must be a spark in little men that can burst into flame.
I didn't know I was different athletically for a long time. I thought everyone did the sort of things that I can do.
My contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.
I think that most people don't even know that I do other things. They think that Homer is all that I do.
Genius and great abilities are often wanting; sometimes, only opportunities. Some deserve praise for what they have done; others for what they would have done.
The child is much more spiritually elevated than is usually supposed. He often suffers, not from too much work, but from work that is unworthy of him.
In 2NE1, you mostly see just one side of CL.
We are all more capable than we could ever imagine or admit to.
It so cliché to say some guys and girls need to step up, but there can be bigger stars and bigger names when people get their chance.
I have this ability to find this hidden talent in people that sometimes even they didn't know they had.
Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.
Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.
There are greater and better things in us all, than the world takes account of, or than we take note of; if we would but find them out.
The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.
I'm not good at anything! I can do, like, two voices.
After all, people may really have in them some vocation which is not quite plain to themselves, may they not? They may seem idle and weak because they are growing. We should be very patient with each other, I think.
I left school with basically nothing, I was a special needs kid. I did feel as though my school had let me down.
We don't know the power that's within our own bodies.
It's the great tragedy - people employed in ways that don't fully tap everything they do best in life.
My whole life people underrated me.
If you sense there must be more, there is more.
