Passion drives our actions.

Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.

No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

An irresistible passion that would induce me to believe in innate ideas and the truth of prophecy has decided my career. I have always loved liberty with the enthusiasm which actuates the religious man with the passion of a lover and with the conviction of a geometrician.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

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

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.

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

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

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

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