“Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action.” -Henry Chester

“The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand with as much regularity as an accountant settles down each day to his figures. They didn’t waste time waiting for inspiration.” - Ernest Newman

“Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and of true progress.” -Nicholas Murray Butler

“I find that it is not the circumstances in which we are placed, but the spirit in which we face them, that constitutes our comfort.” –Elizabeth T. King

On the subject of mutual charity you have no need for anyone to write you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
