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

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
