Quote

Passions are vices or virtues to their highest powers.

The passions are the same in every conflict, large or small.

Passions are the gales of life.

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

In music the passions enjoy themselves.

All passions exaggerate; and they are passions only because they do exaggerate.

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

Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.

Love is only one of many passions.

There is only one passion, the passion for happiness.
