Conor McGregor Quotes

No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.

A specialist is someone who does everything else worse.

The term 'renaissance man' is always bandied about. I don't think that applies to me. You think about Leonardo da Vinci, and he was a painter and a physicist and an architect, and that is a true renaissance man.

In the age of the specialist, the generalsit gets short shrift.

I know I'm in a 'jack of all, master of none' situation, but I like it that way.

I've learned that just because you're successful in one area doesn't necessarily mean you'll be successful in another.

Obviously, I carved out a pretty successful path and career for myself. But I'm kind of fascinated with, for lack of a better term, Renaissance men. And women. People who do a lot of different things.

There is such a suspicion in today's world of people who do more than one thing, who aren't specialized.

I wouldn't say that I'm a jack-of-all-trades, master of none, but I wouldn't say that I'm brilliant at any.

Actually I like the idea of being a Renaissance hack. If tombstones were still in style, I would want to have the two words chiseled right under my name.

For 30 years I've been schooled in everything from government, and economics, to medicine and international relations. But don't be impressed. Someone once said being a general assignment reporter simply means you are equally ignorant about most everything. In other words, I know a little about a lot.

I always wanted to be a renaissance woman, do as many things as I possibly can and hopefully do them well or don't do them at all.

In an age of specialization people are proud to be able to do one thing well, but if that is all they know about, they are missing out on much else life has to offer.

I do a little bit of everything.

I'm kind of a Jack of all trades, master of none.
