On Point - Momentum

The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum.

Frances Willard

Sometimes being pushed to the wall gives you the momentum necessary to get over it!

Peter de Jager

Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind.
