8. "If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm." - Vince Lombardi
7. "Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm." - Earl Nightingale
6. "There is an eloquence in true enthusiasm." - Edgar Allen Poe
5."Enthusiasm is the greatest asset in the world. It beats money, power, and influence." - Henry Chester
