Talent is
something, but tact is everything. Talent is serious, sober, grave, and
respectable. Tact is all that, and more too. It is not a sixth sense, but it is
the life of all the five. It is the open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste,
the keen smell, the lively touch. It is the interpreter of all riddles, the surmounted
of all difficulties, the remover of all obstacles. It is useful in all places
and at all times. It is useful in solitude, for it shows a man his way into the
world. It is useful in society, for it shows him his way through the world.
Talent
is power, tact is skill; talent is weight, tact is momentum. Talent knows what
to do, tact knows how to do it; talent makes a man respectable, tact will make
him respected; talent is wealth, tact is ready money. For all the practical
purposes of life, tact carries against talent, ten to one.
Talent
makes the world wonder that it gets on no faster, tact excites astonishment
that it gets on so fast. And the secret is that it has no weight to carry; it
makes no false steps; it hits the right nail on the head; it loses no time; it
takes all hints, and by keeping its eye on the weathercock is ready to take
advantage of every wind that blows. Take them into the church. Talent has
always something worth hearing, tact is sure of abundance of hearers; talent may
obtain a living, tact will make one; talent gets a good name, tact a great one;
talent convinces, tact converts; talent is an honour to the profession, tact
gains honour from the profession.
Take
them into court. Talent feels its weight, tact finds its way; talent commands,
tact is obeyed; talent is honoured with approbation, tact is blessed by
preferment. Place them in the senate. Talent has the ear of the house, but tact
wins its heart and has its votes; talent is fit for employment, but tact is
fitted for it, it has all the air of commonplace and all the forces and power
of genius.
