Quote

A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.

What the public wants is the image of passion, not passion itself.

My passion for ideas is not matched with a passion for partisan or electoral politics.

I think that passion is the secret ingredient that drives hard work and excellence. My passion is to serve the public: to be in the arena of public policy, to have the opportunity to solve problems for our country, to be in a position where I can make a difference.

Passion is the driver of achievement in all fields. Some people love doing things they don't feel they're good at. That may be because they underestimate their talents or haven't yet put the work in to develop them.

When people have passion there's nothing they can't do.

I'm fascinated by political enthusiasm.

Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.

Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you're passionate about something, then you're more willing to take risks.

You can be passionate about anything.
