“The great accomplishments of man have resulted from the transmission of ideas and enthusiasm.”
“This is your time of great enthusiasm, you can accomplish so much in this life.”
“Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.”
“It is always man's ideas which drive his actions. This has, at times, resulted in great evil; but as we look around us, we cannot doubt that it has resulted in greater good.”
“Most people live life backwards. They party and kill time in their youth, when they’re strong and have the energy to accomplish great things. And then they’re older, they try to get things done, but they have less energy and enthusiasm by that time.”
“I have no idea what I am doing but incompetence has never prevented me from plunging in with enthusiasm.”
