About this Quote

This quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld talks to the power of enthusiasm and how it can affect individuals in various methods. Enthusiasm can be a powerful force, and it can trigger even the cleverest of guys to act in absurd methods. It can result in rash decisions and irrational behavior, and it can trigger people to act in manner ins which they would not typically act. On the other hand, enthusiasm can likewise provide fantastic strength and insight. It can offer even the biggest morons a newly found sense of clearness and function, and it can help them to achieve things that they would not have actually been able to do without it. Simply put, enthusiasm can be both a true blessing and a curse, depending upon how it is used.
