General jackdaw culture, very little more than a collection of charming miscomprehensions, untargeted enthusiasms, and a general habit of skimming.

Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great. Without it no man is to be feared, and with it none despised.

- Bovee, Christian Nevell

. . . People smile at the "enthusiasm of youth"--that enthusiasm which they themselves secretly look back at with a sigh, perhaps unconscious that it is partly their own fault that they ever lost it. . . . Do not fear being considered an enthusiast. What matter? But pray for tact, the true tact which love alone can give, to prevent scandalising a weak brother.


- Letters and Memories. 1842.

If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.

- Carnegie, Dale

Roughly speaking, any man with energy and enthusiasm ought to be able to bring at least a dozen others round to his opinion in the course of a year no matter how absurd that opinion might be. We see every day in politics, in business, in social life, large masses of people brought to embrace the most revolutionary ideas, sometimes within a few days. It is all a question of getting hold of them in the right way and working on their weak points.

- Crowley, Aleister

15.

All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene.

Your enthusiasm will be infectious, stimulating and attractive to others. They will love you for it. They will go for you and with you.
