Quotations about passions | |
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. To be happy, the passions must be cheerful and gay, not gloomy and melancholy. A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow, real poverty. Govern your passions or otherwise they will govern you. |
