Thought for the day

Fire can’t be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labour into pleasant tasks.

The fellow who is fired with enthusiasm for his boss is seldom fired by the boss.

Temperance is moderation in the things that are good and total abstinence from the things that are foul.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is the greatest asset in the world. It beats money and power and influence.

To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise.

Many do with opportunities as children do at the shore, they fill their little hands with sand, and then let the grains fall through, one by one till all are gone.

Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.

Words, like glasses obscure everything which they do not make clear.
