James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899.

Buffon

Genius is nothing but a great capacity for patience.

Le génie n’est autre chose qu’une grand aptitude à la patience—Genius is nothing else than a sovereign capacity for patience.

Le style est l’homme même—The style is the man himself.

Patience is genius.

To write well is to think well, to feel well, and to render well; it is to possess at once intellect, soul, and taste.
