More men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent.

Billy Sunday

Most men fail, not through lack of education or agreeable personal qualities, but from lack of dogged determination, from lack of dauntless will.

Orison Swett Marden

They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.

Eric Hoffer

Most people who fail in their dream fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment.

Zig Ziglar

Generally speaking, there is more wit than talent in the world. Society swarms with witty people who lack talent.

Antoine Rivarol

Startups don’t fail because they lack a product; they fail because they lack customers and a profitable business model.

Steve Blank

The simple reason that most people fail financially is not because of the lack of a plan, it’s not because of good advice, it’s not even because of a lack of capital. It is for one reason—they attach more pain to the idea of having money, than NOT having it.

Tony Robbins

Few lack talent, but most people lack the vision and perseverance to develop their talents.

Orrin Woodward

Overacting is a self-indulgence, while underacting comes either through a lack of talent or a lack of courage.

Gregory Peck

If the thought of lack -whether it be money, recognition, or love has become part of who you think you are, you will always experience lack. Rather than acknowledge the good that is already in your life, all you see is lack.

Eckhart Tolle

There's no lack of talent out there. I suspect there is a lack of creative guidance, and that would not be solely the responsibility of a director but also a producer.
