In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions.
Daniel Webster struck me much like a steam engine in trousers.
It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm movers the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.
Enthusiasm. A distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience.
Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it.
Emerson.
Enthusiasm is a virtue rarely to be met with in seasons of calm and unruffled prosperity. It flourishes in adversity, kindles in the hour of danger, and awakens to deeds of renown. The terrors of persecution only serve to quicken the energy of his purpose. It swells in proud integrity, and great in the purity of its cause, it can scatter defiance amidst hosts of enemies.
Chalmers.
The sense of this world among the Greeks affords the noblest definition of it; enthusiasm signifies “God in us”.
Mad. De Stael.
Opposition always inflames the enthusiast, never converts him.
Schiller.
An excess of excitement, and a deficiency of enthusiasm, may easily characterize the same person or period . Enthusiasm is grave, inward, self-controlled; mere excitement is outward, fantastic, hysterical, and passing in a moment from tears to laughter; from one aim to its very opposite.
J.Sterling.
Truth is never to be expected from authors whose understanding are warped with enthusiasm; for they judge all actions and their causes by their own perverse principles, and a crooked line can never be the measure of a straight one.
Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm. It is the real allegory of the tale of Orpheus; it moves stones, and charms brutes. It is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it.
Bulwer.
Enlist the interests of stern morality and religious enthusiasm in the cause of political liberty, as in the time of the old Puritans, and it will be irresistible.
Colerdige.
All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene.
Channing.
Every production of genius must be the production of enthusiasm.
Disraeil.
Let us recognize the beauty and power of true enthusiasm; and whatever we may do to enlighten ourselves or others, guard against checking or chilling a single earnest sentiment.
Tuckerman.
The enthusiasm of old men is singularly like that of infancy.
Nerval.
Great designs are not accomplished without enthusiasm of some sort. It is the inspiration of everything great without it no man is to be feared, and with it none despised.
Bovee.
Enthusiasm is an evil muck less to be dreaded than superstition. Superstition is the disease of nations; enthusiasm, that of individuals. The former grows inveterate by time; the latter is cured by it.
Robert Hall.
Enthusiast soon understand each other.
Irving.
No wild enthusiast every yet could rest, till half mankind were, like himself, possest.
Cowper.
