Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.

Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.

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.

If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.

The prudent person may direct a state, but it is the enthusiast who regenerates or ruins it.

Enthusiasm is: A quiet spiritual strength: An inner glow: Faith in action: Greatest asset in the world: Beats money power influence: Tramples over prejudice.

Enthusiasm makes ordinary people extraordinary.

Great eagerness in the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, or honor, cannot exist without sin.

In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions.

When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.
