We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.
- Eliot, George
Passion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Passion

1.
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

2.
What makes the engine go? Desire, desire, desire.
Stanley Kunitz

3.
Our passion are the true phoenixes; when the old one is burnt out, a new one rises from its ashes.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

4.
Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless.
Hoffer, Eric

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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

8.
Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.
Cowper, William

9.
They declaim against the passions without bothering to think that it is from their flame philosophy lights its torch.
Sade, Marquis De

10.
Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.
Robert Sternberg

11.
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.

12.
Judgement, not passion should prevail.
Epicharmus

13.
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

14.
Compassion automatically invites you to relate with people because you no longer regard people as a drain on your energy.
Trungpa, Chogyam

15.
We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.
Eliot, George

16.
Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.
Diderot, Denis

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Blaze with the fire that is never extinguished.
Luisa Sigea

20.
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

21.
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

22.
Do what you love. Know you own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.
Thoreau, Henry David

23.
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

24.
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
Balzac, Honore De

25.
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

26.
He who has no passion has no principal or motive to act.
Helvetius, Claude A.

27.
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

28.
Private passions tire and exhaust themselves, public ones never.
Lamartine, Alphonse De

29.
It is the passions that do and undo everything.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier

30.
What our age lacks is not reflection, but passion.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

31.
Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

32.
The happiness in this life does not consist of being devoid of passion, but mastering them.

33.
Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

34.
The dew of compassion is a tear.
Byron, Lord

35.
I have no respect for the passion of equality, which seems to me merely idealizing envy.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
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

39.
Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.
Browne, Sir Thomas

40.
A man in passion rides a horse that runs away with him.
Fuller, Thomas

41.
I had learnt to seek intensityàmore of life, a concentrated sense of life.
Nina Berberova

42.
Care is a state in which something does matter; it is the source of human tenderness.
May, Rollo

43.
Every man without passion has within him no principle of action, nor motive of act.
Helvetius, Claude A.

44.
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

45.
You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.
Irving, John

46.
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

47.
I was born to be a runner. I simply love to run. It's almost like the faster I go, the easier it becomes.
Slaney, Mary Decker

48.
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

49.
The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a true believer to be compassionate. No greater ;burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands.
Stainback, Arthur H.

50.
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
