Motivational Quotes

Passion

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
Passion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Passion

1.
Passion is the trigger of success.

2.
To hide a passion totally (or even to hide, more simply, its excess) is inconceivable: not because the human subject is too weak, but because passion is in essence made to be seen: the hiding must be seen: I want you to know that I am hiding something from you, that is the active paradox I must resolve: at one and the same time it must be known and not known: I want you to know that I don't want to show my feelings: that is the message I address to the other.
Barthes, Roland

3.
Saving lives is not a top priority in the halls of power. Being compassionate and concerned about human life can cause a man to lose his job. It can cause a woman not to get the job to begin with.
Miedzian, Myriam

4.
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

5.
Judgement, not passion should prevail.
Epicharmus

6.
The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.
Cousins, Norman

7.
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

8.
Blaze with the fire that is never extinguished.
Luisa Sigea

9.
We may affirm absolutely that nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.
Hegel, Georg

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Minerva save us from the cloying syrup of coercive compassion!
Paglia, Camille

14.
There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it's the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.
Robbins, Anthony

15.
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
Paul, Jean

16.
Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion.
Georg Wilhelm

17.
It is easier to exclude harmful passions than to rule them, and to deny them admittance than to control them after they have been admitted.
Seneca

18.
Your pasion must come from the things that fuel you from the inside. Honors and awards are nice things, but only to the extent that they regard the real respect from your peers.
Randy Pausch

19.
In democratic ages men rarely sacrifice themselves for another, but they show a general compassion for all the human race. One never sees them inflict pointless suffering, and they are glad to relieve the sorrows of others when they can do so without much trouble to themselves. They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

20.
The dew of compassion is a tear.
Byron, Lord

21.
It is really important that young people find something that they want to do and pursue it with passion. I'm very passionate about filmmaking. It's what I love to do.
Lee, Spike

22.
You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas.
Herzen, Alexander

23.
No deep and strong feeling, such as we may come across here and there in the world, is unmixed with compassion. The more we love, the more the object of our love seems to us to be a victim.
Pasternak, Boris

24.
If we resist our passions, it is more through their weakness than from our strength.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

25.
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
Fellini, Frederico

26.
We could hardly wait to get up in the morning.
Wright, Wilbur

27.
Whenever I get to a low point, I go back to the basics. I ask myself, Why am I doing this? It comes down to passion.
St. James, Lyn

28.
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

29.
The worst sin - perhaps the only sin - passion can commit, is to be joyless.
Dorothy L. Sayers

30.
Chase your passion, not your pension.
Waitley, Denis

31.
Christianity demands a level of caring that transcends human inclinations.
Lutzer, Erwin W.

32.
There is some place where your specialties can shine. Somewhere that difference can be expressed. It's up to you to find it, and you can.
Viscott, David

33.
Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost.
Saying

34.
She is so totally absorbed in a vocation -- both a gift and a mastering passion -- that she has no time to be absorbed with the self's worries about itself. And that is the moral of the story: You can pursue happiness by wearing a torn jersey. You can catch it by being good at something you love.
Will, George F.

35.
When the habitually even-tempered suddenly fly into a passion, that explosion is apt to be more impressive than the outburst of the most violent amongst us.
Margery Allingham

36.
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

37.
There is only one passion, the passion for happiness.
Diderot, Denis

38.
They declaim against the passions without bothering to think that it is from their flame philosophy lights its torch.
Sade, Marquis De

39.
Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things.
Denis Diderot

40.
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

41.
Passion kept one fully in the present, so that time became a series of mutually exclusive'nows.'
Sue Halpern

42.
As we mature spiritually, we exhibit a growing capacity to care for and appreciate one another in the body of Christ, regardless of our differences.
Stowell, Joseph

43.
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

44.
Out of compassion I destroy the darkness of their ignorance. From within them I light the lamp of wisdom and dispel all darkness from their lives.
Bhagavad Gita

45.
We must act out passion before we can feel it.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

46.
What makes the engine go? Desire, desire, desire.
Stanley Kunitz

47.
Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

48.
Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world.
Schaeffer, Francis

49.
You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.
Irving, John

50.
It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
