People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Enthusiasms, like stimulants, are often affected by people with small mental ballast
If you can give your child only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do.
The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of childhood into maturity.
If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.
I would rather hire a man with enthusiasm, than a man who knows everything.
True enthusiasm is a fine feeling whose flash I admire where-ever I see it.
You just try to do everything that comes up. Get up an hour earlier, stay up an hour later, make the time. Then you look back and say, ‘Well, that was a neat piece of juggling there -- school, marriage, babies, career.’ The enthusiasms took me through the action, not the measuring of it or the reasonableness.
Enthusiasm begets enthusiasm.
We were young, but we had good advice and good ideas and lots of enthusiasm.
Don't get stuck where you are, keep growing. It's a decision you have to make because it is easy to get stuck. Make a decision to develop better habits, to have better relationships and just to keep the enthusiasm for life.
Enthusiasm, if fueled by inspiration and perseverance, travels with passion and its destination is excellence.
People do not get tired out from working where work is intelligently handled. Work, if it is interesting, is a stimulant. It's worry and a lack of interest in what one does that tire and discourage. Every one of us should have our pet interests-as many as we can handle efficiently and happily. Our interests should never be allowed to lag or get cold so that all enthusiasm is spent. Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up to your interests-feeding them as they feed you!
Find that pursuit that will energize you, consume you, become an obsession. Each day, you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don't, you are working.
Excessive caution can sometimes lead one as far astray as rash enthusiasm.
Women encourage killers. They do it by falling in love with warriors and heroes. Men know it and respond with enthusiasm. The Crusaders marched off to war with ladies favors in their helmets. The heroes sliced up adults and baked infants on spits, all the while thinking of how the damsels back home would admire their bravery.
Enthusiasm is the key not only to the achievement of great things but to the accomplishment of any thing that is worthwhile.
Enthusiasm is contagious - so is a lack of it. Joyless Christians are a greater assault on the gospel than atheism.
By eloquence I understand those appeals to our moral perceptions that produce emotion as soon as they are uttered. This is the very enthusiasm that is the parent of poetry. Let the same man go to his closet and clothe in numbers conceptions full of the same fire and spirit, and they will be poetry.
Don't listen to other people's advice unless it is rooted in irrepressible enthusiasm (e.g., "Be afraid but do it anyway"), or about the importance of being a good colleague.
It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.
There are very few good examples of effective, nurturing leadership that unlocks people's potential or even enthusiasm.
