Enthusiasm...the sustaining power of all great action.

It is energy - the central element of which is will - that produces the miracle that is enthusiasm in all ages. Everywhere it is what is called force of character and the sustaining power of all great action.

Hope...is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.
