Hide not your talents, they for use were made, What's a sundial in the shade?

About This Quote

William Shakespeare said, “Hide not your talents, they for use were made, what’s a sundial in the shade?” He was referring to the fact that talent isn't important to other people. What other people think of you should be of no concern to you. You should just do whatever you want to do and let other people decide if they like it or not.
