enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is the greatest asset in the world.
It is nothing more or less than faith in action.

Henry Chester

Enthusiasm is the thing which makes the world go round.
Without its driving power, nothing worth doing has ever
been done. Love, friendship, religion, altruism, devotion
to career or hobby—all these, and most of the other
good things of life, are forms of enthusiasm.

Robert H. Schauffler

Enthusiasm is the element
of success in everything.
It is the light that leads and
the strength that lifts people
on and up in the great
struggles of scientific
pursuits and of professional
labor. It robs endurance
of difficulty, and makes
pleasure of duty.

Bishop Doane

Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world
is the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The worst bankrupt in the world is the person who has lost his or her enthusiasm.

H.W. Arnold

Fires can't be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men.
Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort
and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.

James Baldwin

If you can give your son or daughter
only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.

Bruce Barton

Enthusiasm, like measles, mumps, and the common cold, is highly contagious.

Emory Ward

Enthusiasm is not a thing which some possess and others lack.
All persons have it potentially, but only a few are able to express it.

William K. Atkinson

Enthusiasm is one of life's greatest qualities, but it must be practiced
to become a dominant factor in one's life. There is
real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference
between mediocrity and accomplishment.

Norman Vincent Peale

One person has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days,
but it is the person who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his or her life.

Edward B. Butler

Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence,
is the quality that most frequently makes for success.

Dale Carnegie

The Greeks have given us one
of the most beautiful words of
our language, the word
"enthusiasm"--a god within.
The grandeur of the acts
of people is measured
by the inspiration from
which they spring. Happy
are they who bear a God within.

Louis Pasteur

There can be no success without enthusiasm.
The secret of a full life is lots of enthusiasm,
the kind that keeps you fighting and winning
over all obstacles--and enjoying every minute of it.

Alfred Krebs

Years wrinkle the skin. But to lose enthusiasm in life wrinkles the soul.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

Henry David Thoreau

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life,
when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Charles Kingsley

Greet the dawn with enthusiasm and you may expect satisfaction at sunset.

unattributed

Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm.
Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge
or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning.
Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity
but with it you can accomplish miracles.
