Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes.
Marquis de Sade
All, all is theft, all is unceasing and rigorous competition in nature; the desire to make off with the substance of others is the foremost - the most legitimate - passion nature has bred into us and, without doubt, the most agreeable one.
Marquis de Sade
Sudden glory is the passion which maketh those grimaces called laughter.
Thomas Hobbes
The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.
Edmund Burke
He had no failings which were not owing to a noble cause; to an ardent, generous, perhaps an immoderate passion for fame; a passion which is the instinct of all great souls.
Edmund Burke
No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
Edmund Burke
Passion for fame: A passion which is the instinct of all great souls.
Edmund Burke
You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion.

Pythagoras
Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied.

I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.
Stephen Fry
Man is only great when he acts from passion.
Benjamin Disraeli
The ruling passion, be it what it will. The ruling passion conquers reason still.
Alexander Pope
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
Alexander Pope
If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.
Eric Cantona
Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.
Samuel Johnson
If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion.
Mia Hamm
