When you discover your mission you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.
I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.
It is unfortunate considering that enthusiasm moves the world that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.
Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it.
If you have enthusiasm you have a very dynamic effective companion to travel with you on the road to Somewhere.

When I was a child I used to read books by Gerald Durrell who founded Jersey Zoo. He had a job collecting animals for zoos and for a long time that is what I wanted to do. Later when I was a teenager I had a fantastic English teacher called Mrs. Stafford. Her enthusiasm made me decide to be a writer.
One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes another for 30 days but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.
Flaming enthusiasm backed up by horse sense and persistence is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
My strength is my enthusiasm.
