Godly enthusiasm is not a fire of our own kindling...If a man, however, has caught fire, let me not quench the Spirit by dampening the ardor of his pure devotion. Enthusiasm is not contrary to reason; it is reason - on fire.

Peter Marshall

Youth is a continual intoxication; it is the fever of reason.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Enthusiasm is not contrary to reason; it is reason - on fire.

Peter Marshall

These individulas have riches just as we say that we 'have a fever,' when really the fever has us.

Seneca the Younger

Love was a fever that came along a few years after chicken-pox and measles and scarlet fever.

Eleanor Hallowell Abbott

Enthusiasm is my superpower. One might say that confidence yields the same result. I disagree. Confidence is about yourself, enthusiasm is about something else. Confidence is impressive, but enthusiasm is infectious. Confidence is serious, enthusiasm is fun.

Tina Roth-Eisenberg

It has been said that "to enthuse" means "to fill with spirit," and that spirit of enthusiasm is awaiting release or manifestation. Enthusiasm can be harnessed and activated. It can be transferred from one person to another. The energy of enthusiasm is similar to a radio signal that carries around the world. It can be transmitted and received; and when enthusiasm is shared by a group of people, it can be potentiated to a higher degree of power.

John Templeton

Impatience turns an ague into a fever, a fever to the plague, fear into despair, anger into rage, loss into madness, and sorrow to amazement.

Jeremy Taylor

I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say.

Daphne du Maurier

I want a fever, in poetry: a fever, and tranquillity.

James Dickey

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. Enthusiasm is the spark in your eye, the swing in your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of your will and your energy to execute your ideas. Enthusiasts are fighters, they have fortitude, they have strong qualities. Enthusiasm is at the bottom of all progress. With it there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis.

Henry Ford

Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.

Blaise Pascal

Humanity has but three great enemies: fever, famine, and war; of these by far the greatest, by far the most terrible, is fever.

William Osler

R.Pattz fever is a lot louder than George Clooney fever. The younger girls are a little louder.

Anna Kendrick

Enthusiasm needs to be effective enthusiasm. We must distinguish between the contribution and enthusiasm of the cheerleader and the enthusiasm of the player. While cheerleaders serve an important purpose, the real contest involves players on the field or on the court of life. We must not go through life acting only as enthusiastic cheerleaders available for hire; we must be anxiously and personally engaged.

Neal A. Maxwell

If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation.

Anais Nin
