Enthusiasm is the divine particle in our composition: with it we are great, generous, and true; without it, we are little, false, and mean.

What is enthusiasm but a passionate belief in what seems to be a high and holy aim - an unselfish devotion to some noble cause - a consecration of heart and mind and soul to the attainment of a great object?

Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind.

Enthusiasm is a form of social courage.

Enthusiasm is the greatest asset you can possess, for it can take you further than money, power or influence.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.

There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.

Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.

Greeks have always been very confident, very strong people. That is - that is our real, I guess, benefit, is that we are independent thinkers. We will always get up on our feet. We - we sometimes act the best when we are downtrodden.

We Greeks are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness.
