“Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring”

“An intellectual is someone who has found something more interesting than sex”

“Passion very often makes the wisest men fools, and very often too inspires the greatest fools with wit”

“If we resist our passions it is more from their weakness than from our strength”

“Our headstrong passions shut the door of our souls against God.”

“One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success out of his life.”
