Quotes about passion:
Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
All men are liable to error and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it.
The time at our disposal each day is elastic the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.
Quotes about fear:
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
