“Revolutions are the produce of passion, not of sober and tranquil reason.”
William Godwin
“If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Rest in reason; move in passion”
Khalil Gibran
“Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost.”
Proverb
“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafairing soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.”
Kahlil Gibran
“All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire.”
Aristotle
“The law is reason free from passion”
