Passion quotes
" Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them. "

Saint Thomas Aquinas
" Strength instead of being the lusty child of passions, grows by grappling with and subduing them. "

James M. Barrie
" Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your own failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see. "

Bernard M. Baruch
" Those who control their passions do so because their passions are weak enough to be controlled. "

William Blake
" "Know thyself," said the old philosopher, "improve thyself," saith the new. Our great object in time is not to waste our passions and gifts on the things external that we must leave behind, but that we cultivate within us all that we can carry into the eternal progress beyond. "

Edward Bulwer-Lytton
" What a mistake to suppose that the passions are strongest in youth! The passions are not stronger, but the control over them is weaker! They are more easily excited, they are more violent and apparent; but they have less energy, less durability, less intense and concentrated power than in the maturer life. "

Edward Bulwer-Lytton
" No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. "

Edmund Burke
" How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong -- because someday you will have been all of these. "

George Washington Carver
" Men cling passionately to old traditions and display intense reluctance to modify customary modes of behavior, as innovators at all times have found to their cost. The dead-weight of conservatism, largely a lazy and cowardly distaste for the strenuous and painful activity of real thinking, has undoubtedly retarded human progress... "

V. Gordon Childe
" There is no passion like that of a functionary for his function. "

Georges Clemenceau
" The worst thing is to get involved with people who aren't passionate about what they're doing. "

Willem Dafoe
" You shouldn't even be writing this story if you haven't heard me play live. You can't write with the passion you receive until you see a Dick Dale concert."

Dick Dale
" Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. "

Anthony J Dangelo
" Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy. "

Blythe Danner
" I went further and further back through the centuries to get a sense of perspective but now at least I understand why Irish history evokes such strong passions and emotions. "

James Darcy
