It cannot take decades to resurrect, we must act immediately with purpose and enthusiasm to rebuild.

I am hoping the four new players can bring in some energy and fresh enthusiasm because they do not have the baggage that comes from being part of a losing side.

- Andy Pick

I can only guess that, for guys in their 30s and 40s who watched me play, they understood that the score never mattered and my paycheck never mattered (in relation) to how I played. I played with Little League enthusiasm and professional flair. That's what fans are really looking for.

- Andy Van Slyke

During my time at Watchung Hills Regional High School, I was fortunate to have a number of teachers who inspired me and filled me with enthusiasm for learning.

- Adam Riess

We have built a genuine level of enthusiasm and goodwill with people throughout this district. People are really excited about the possibilities this election holds, not just for this district, but because of the message Alabama sent to the rest of the country.

- Artur Davis

My friends once told me I remind them of the main character from the American comedy series 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' I thought they must mean a sunny, affable girl-next-door, but instead I was confronted with Larry David! Crabby, moody, perversely neurotic Larry David. And the thing is, my friends were right.

- Anushka Sharma

A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.

- Alex Kapranos

As always, the British especially shudder at the latest American vulgarity, and then they embrace it with enthusiasm two years later.

- Alistair Cooke

Public enthusiasm for new advances is a key ingredient in influencing policy-makers to stimulate follow-up work with suitable funding, and it can be achieved far faster now that interested non-specialists can explore new research autonomously and can also be appealed to directly by scientists.

- Aubrey de Grey

On the other hand, I don't understand the enthusiasm for everything in the antique shop that Grandma threw out. There, the sense of quality has declined; otherwise Grandma wouldn't have thrown it out.

- Arne Jacobsen

Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.

- Adam Smith

Even in my stand-up, there's a lot more positivity and enthusiasm rather than negative, I-hate-everything vibes.

- Aziz Ansari

There's massive government initiatives going around the world, and you see that there's a real enthusiasm for genetics.

- Anne Wojcicki

I'd like to learn to meditate with more enthusiasm. I can sit down and get quiet for 20 minutes, but it just has not been a part of my Christianity at all.

- Anne Lamott

The people in East Germany have lived through so many changes in the last 15 years like never before in the country, and they did this often with great enthusiasm. But in the West we also have a high degree of transformations.

- Angela Merkel

I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.

- Anatole France

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

- Aldous Huxley

I have had a dream indicating rather clearly that I am on the way to being hetero, though I don't accept it with much enthusiasm either awake or in the dreams.

- Alan Turing

Enthusiasm just creates bubbles; it doesn't keep them from popping.

- Adora Svitak

None of my friends don't have Facebook accounts. Op-eds and studies can highlight our decreased enthusiasm for Facebook 'til the cows come home, but it doesn't change the fact that we are chained to the beast. Voluntarily, of course.
