Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
The passions are the only orators which always persuade.
Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.
Our passions are ourselves.
People who never get carried away should be.
This, indeed, is one of the eternal paradoxes of both life and literature-that without passion little gets done; yet, without control of that passion, its effects are largely ill or null.
When the habitually even-tempered suddenly fly into a passion, that explosion is apt to be more impressive than the outburst of the most violent amongst us.
Optimism, unaccompanied by personal effort, is merely a state of mind and not fruitful.
When enthusiasm is inspired by reason; controlled by caution; sound in theory; practical in application; reflects confidence; spreads good cheer; raises morale; inspires associates; arouses loyalty; and laughs at adversity, it is beyond price.
The world belongs to the enthusiast who keeps cool.
Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.
If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
You've got to sing like you don't need the money. You've got to love like you'll never get hurt. You've got to dance like there's nobody watching. You've got to come from the heart, if you want it to work.
When his enthusiasm goes, he's through as a player.
Every production of genius must be the production of enthusiasm.
Give me a man who sings at his work.
A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.
Drama is very important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper.
The world belongs to the energetic.
The real difference between men is energy.
