Passion

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
Passion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Passion

1.
The happiness in this life does not consist of being devoid of passion, but mastering them.

2.
Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason.
Penn, William

3.
Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
Pascal, Blaise

4.
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

5.
He submits to be seen through a microscope, who suffers himself to be caught in a fit of passion.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

6.
If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.
Campbell, Joseph

7.
The worst sin - perhaps the only sin - passion can commit, is to be joyless.
Dorothy L. Sayers

8.
We could hardly wait to get up in the morning.
Wright, Wilbur

9.
I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I don't despise it. But it can't quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it.
Bernanos, Georges

10.
Being part of an agenda beyond ourselves liberates us to complement each other rather than compete with each other.
Stowell, Joseph

11.
Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.
Browne, Sir Thomas

12.
Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.
Diderot, Denis

13.
Compassion automatically invites you to relate with people because you no longer regard people as a drain on your energy.
Trungpa, Chogyam

14.
Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.
Cowper, William

15.
All passions exaggerate; and they are passions only because they do exaggerate.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

16.
There is only one passion, the passion for happiness.
Diderot, Denis

17.
If we resist our passions, it is more through their weakness than from our strength.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

18.
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

19.
Every man without passion has within him no principle of action, nor motive of act.
Helvetius, Claude A.

20.
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

21.
I had learnt to seek intensityàmore of life, a concentrated sense of life.
Nina Berberova

22.
Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

23.
Our passion are the true phoenixes; when the old one is burnt out, a new one rises from its ashes.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

24.
Passion kept one fully in the present, so that time became a series of mutually exclusive'nows.'
Sue Halpern

25.
There is in most passions a shrinking away from ourselves. The passionate pursuer has all the earmarks of a fugitive.
Hoffer, Eric

26.
Blaze with the fire that is never extinguished.
Luisa Sigea

27.
I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance.
Casals, Pablo

28.
Passion costs me too much to bestow it on every trifle.
Adams, Thomas

29.
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
Jung, Carl

30.
As a bathtub lined with white porcelain, when the hot water gives out or goes tepid, so is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion, o my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady.
Pound, Ezra

31.
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

32.
The mind is no match with the heart in persuasion; constitutionality is no match with compassion.
Dirksen, Everett M.

33.
Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

34.
Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.
Robert Sternberg

35.
You will need to find your passion. Don't give up on finding it because then all you're doing is waiting for the Reaper.
Randy Pausch

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

39.
The person who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor to find much fun in life.
Schwab, Charles M.

40.
The dew of compassion is a tear.
Byron, Lord

41.
We may affirm absolutely that nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.
Hegel, Georg

42.
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

43.
It's the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.
Rebecca West

44.
Christianity demands a level of caring that transcends human inclinations.
Lutzer, Erwin W.

45.
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

46.
The only sin passion can commit is to be joyless.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

47.
They declaim against the passions without bothering to think that it is from their flame philosophy lights its torch.
Sade, Marquis De

48.
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

49.
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Eckhart, Meister

50.
You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.
Irving, John
