“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

“Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.”

“Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.”

“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.”

“No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.”

“Is not prayer a study of truth, a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.”
