- Orison Sweet Marden (1850-1924) American Editor and Speaker
Who would have ever heard of Theodore Roosevelt outside of his immediate community if he had only half committed himself to what he had undertaken, if he had brought only a part of himself to his task? The great secret of his career has been that he has flung his whole life, not a part of it, with all the determination and energy and power he could muster, into everything he has undertaken. No dillydallying, no faint-hearted efforts, no lukewarm purpose for him!
- Allan Bloom (1930-1992) American Academic and Author
Education is not the taming or domestication of the soul's raw passions -- not suppressing them or excising them, which would deprive the soul of its energy -- but forming and informing them as art.
- David Seabury
Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others.
- Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) British Novelist and Politician
Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm. It is the real allegory of the tale of Orpheus; it moves stones and charms brutes. It is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it.
- Dale Carnegie (1888-1955) American Author and Speaker
Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
- Orison Sweet Marden (1850-1924) American Editor and Speaker
No man can hope to accomplish anything great in this world until he throws his whole soul, flings the force of his whole life, into it. It is not enough simply to have a general desire to accomplish something. There is but one way to do that; and that is, to try to be somebody with all the concentrated energy we can muster.
- Julius C. Hare (1795-1855) English Cleric
A mother should give her children a superabundance of enthusiasm, that after they have lost all they are sure to lose in mixing with the world, enough may still remain to prompt and support them through great actions.
- Coleman Cox
When enthusiasm is inspired by reason, controlled by caution, sound in theory, practical in application, reflects confidence, spreads good cheer, raises morale, inspires associates, arouses loyalty, and laughs at adversity, it is beyond price.
- Arland Gilbert
When we accept tough jobs as a challenge to our ability and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm, miracles can happen.
- Jean Anouilh
To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows.
- Charles Kingsley (1819-1875) English Novelist and Clergyman
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.
- Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975)
Apathy can be overcome by enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can be aroused by two things: first, an idea which takes the imagination by storm; and second, a definite, intelligible plan for carrying that idea into action.
