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

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

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

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

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

| 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 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 |
| |
|
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

|
| |
| 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 |

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

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

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

| Enthusiasm,
like measles, mumps, and the common cold, is highly contagious.
-Emory Ward |

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

| The worst
bankrupt in the world is the person who has lost his
or her enthusiasm. -H.W. Arnold |
| |
|
Enthusiasm
is the greatest asset in the world. It is nothing more or less than faith in action.
-Henry

Enthusiasm--from
the beginning, a remarkable word. The ancient
Greeks used it to describe an inspired person:
en meaning in, and theos meaning
god. The enthusiastic person, they thought,
was one who reflected the presence of an in-dwelling
god. . . .
Enthusiasm is more than simple excitement. It
also involves affection for the object that arouses
it. The enthusiastic person loves the thing he
or she feels excited about, great or small,
important or unimportant, a marriage partner or an
ice-cream cone. When one feels enthusiasm, one
gives out love, and this--I'm sure--is the
indwelling deity that the Greeks had in mind--or
perhaps a fragment of the Kingdom of God that the
Bible says is within us. . . .
Because it has optimism in it, because it's closely
allied to cheerfulness, enthusiasm has the power to
lift people over the rough places in life.
Which of us does not admire some friend who has
proved his or her capacity to endure staggering
blows, keeping their sense of humor, their interest
in things, their vitality intact? We marvel,
as a rule, that such people are able to retain their
enthusiasm. The truth probably is that their
enthusiasm--the love power inside--is supporting them.
