Keep up your enthusiasm! There is nothing more contagious than exuberant enthusiasm.

Harry Houdini

Solitude is the nurse of enthusiasm, enthusiasm is the true part of genius.

Isaac D'Israeli

There is nothing more contagious on this planet than enthusiasm.

Carlos Santana

Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action.

Henry Chester

It is true there is nothing displays a genius, I mean a quickness of genius, more than a dispute; as two diamonds, encountering, contribute to each other's luster. But perhaps the odds is much against the man of taste in this particular.

William Shenstone

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. For what is enthusiasm but the oblivion and swallowing-up of self in an object dearer than self?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Success is often nothing more than moving from one failure to another with undiminished enthusiasm.

Winston Churchill

Nothing is as contagious as enthusiasm. It is the real allegory of the myth of Orpheus; it moves stones, and charms brutes. It is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Genius is nothing more than an extraordinary manifestation of the body.

Arthur Cravan

Men of genius are far more abundant than is supposed. In fact, to appreciate thoroughly the work of what we call genius, is to possess all the genius by which the work was produced.

Edgar Allan Poe

Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself. . . . Further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. The work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. To be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility.
