Passion

Do what you love. Know you own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.
- Thoreau, Henry David
Passion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Passion

1.
You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.
Irving, John

2.
Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless.
Hoffer, Eric

3.
Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be. Become one yourself!
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

4.
Anyone who seeks to destroy the passions instead of controlling them is trying to play the angel.
Voltaire

5.
We could hardly wait to get up in the morning.
Wright, Wilbur

6.
He who has no passion has no principal or motive to act.
Helvetius, Claude A.

7.
Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things.
Denis Diderot

8.
Get it into your head once and for all, my simple and very fainthearted fellow, that what fools call humanness is nothing but a weakness born of fear and egoism; that this chimerical virtue, enslaving only weak men, is unknown to those whose character is formed by stoicism, courage, and philosophy.
Sade, Marquis De

9.
Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
D. H. Lawrence

10.
Passion is the trigger of success.

11.
Compassion automatically invites you to relate with people because you no longer regard people as a drain on your energy.
Trungpa, Chogyam

12.
There is in most passions a shrinking away from ourselves. The passionate pursuer has all the earmarks of a fugitive.
Hoffer, Eric

13.
It is the passions that do and undo everything.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier

14.
I had learnt to seek intensityàmore of life, a concentrated sense of life.
Nina Berberova

15.
Private passions tire and exhaust themselves, public ones never.
Lamartine, Alphonse De

16.
I'm very determined and stubborn. There's a desire in me that makes me want to do more and more, and to do it right. Each one of us has a fire in our heart for something. It's our goal in life to find it and to keep it lit.
Retton, Mary Lou

17.
Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

18.
He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.
Cicero

19.
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Eckhart, Meister

20.
The happiness in this life does not consist of being devoid of passion, but mastering them.

21.
The only sin passion can commit is to be joyless.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

22.
Few people have ever seriously wished to be exclusively rational. The good life which most desire is a life warmed by passions and touched with that ceremonial grace which is impossible without some affectionate loyalty to traditional form and ceremonies.
Krutch, Joseph Wood

23.
In the human heart new passions are forever being born; the overthrow of one almost always means the rise of another.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

24.
I believe that one of life's greatest risks is never daring to risk.
Oprah Winfrey

25.
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
Paul, Jean

26.
The mind is no match with the heart in persuasion; constitutionality is no match with compassion.
Dirksen, Everett M.

27.
Three passions simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life; the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
Russell, Bertrand

28.
Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music -- the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
Miller, Henry

29.
Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.
Nightingale, Earl

30.
Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
Minerva save us from the cloying syrup of coercive compassion!
Paglia, Camille

32.
Jupiter, not wanting man's life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason --you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions.
Erasmus, Desiderius

33.
When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.
ThÝch Nhat Hanh

34.
Judgement, not passion should prevail.
Epicharmus

35.
The worst sin - perhaps the only sin - passion can commit, is to be joyless.
Dorothy L. Sayers

36.
I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere.
Wooden, John

37.
Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.
Robert Sternberg

38.
You will not find your passion in things and you will not find your passion in money. The more things and the more money you have, the more you will look around and use that as the metric and there will be someone with more.
Randy Pausch

39.
The passions are the only orators which always persuade.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

40.
There was a disturbance in my heart, a voice that spoke there and said, I want, I want, I want! It happened every afternoon, and when I tried to suppress it it got even stronger.
Saul Bellow

41.
What makes the engine go? Desire, desire, desire.
Stanley Kunitz

42.
None, but people of strong passion are capable of rising to greatness.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti

43.
There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.
Kundera, Milan

44.
In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
Byron, Lord

45.
The biggest thing [Frida] brought into my life was this peacefulness. I still get passionate about things, but my passion is not so scattered and it's not needy. It's a lot more powerful because it comes with this groundedness and peacefulness. That it's about the process, not about the results.
Salma Hayek

46.
It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

47.
Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.
Browne, Sir Thomas

48.
My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.
Bette Davis

49.
If we resist our passions, it is more through their weakness than from our strength.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

50.
I don't think I can play any other way but all out. I enjoy the game so much because I'm putting so much into it.
Brett, George
