Never change when love has found its home.

Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.

Think enthusiastically about everything; but especially about your job. If you do, you'll put a torch of glory in your life. If you love your job with enthusiasm, you'll shake it to pieces. You'll love it into greatness, you'll upgrade it, you'll fill it with prestige and power.

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.

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

Pleasure without joy is as hollow as passion without tenderness.

I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.

To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable.

Every civilization is, among other things, an arrangement for domesticating the passions and setting them to do useful work.

And, more importantly, reach for the stars. And realize that it is never too late—not now, not ever—for you to pursue you passion, your pursuit of perfection. And most importantly, your perseverance for making it happen.

Do not hire a man who does your work for money but him who does it for love of it.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
