"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

"Enthusiasm, 

like measles, mumps, 

and the common cold, 

is highly contagious."

~Emory Ward

"Here is good news to those to whom enthusiasm does not come naturally: It can be cultivated. At first, you must consciously put your eyes, your voice, your spirit--in a word, yourself--into your appreciation of people and events and things. Do this around your home, at your work, and in your social contacts, and you will be surprised at how quickly it will become second nature. You will find yourself living in a more gracious and enthusiastic world, for your enthusiasm will be reflected back to you from the people to whom you give it."

~David Dunn

"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
