PASSION QUOTES IX

quotations about passion

For an individual, success comes from wrapping your natural behavioral style and talents around a passion in your life. We like to call it your mint chocolate chip. When you are passionate about what you do and deliver it naturally, you are going to excel at it and get rewarded for it. You stop living vanilla ice cream. Because without passion in your life, your natural style is not focused. Without your natural style, your passion is not enjoyed.

For passion, be it observed, brings insight with it; it can give a sort of intelligence to simpletons, fools, and idiots, especially during youth.

Passion maketh man a beast.

L. E. DUPIN

attributed, Day's Collacon


Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.

Infinite passion, and the pain
Of finite hearts that yearn.
