Absence cools moderate Passions, but inflames violent ones.
Thomas Fuller (writer)
» Thomas Fuller (writer) - all quotes »
Don’t tell me you are a moderate. Moderate is an adjective. It is a qualifier. You may be a moderate conservative, a moderate democrat, or a moderate drinker but it doesn’t tell me what you believe in. It’s not a philosophy. Unless all you believe in is moderation for the sake of moderation. Grow up! You can’t be a good egg all of your life. Someday you have to either hatch or rot.
Mike Rosen
Christianity teaches us to moderate our passions; to temper our affections toward all things below; to be thankful for the possession, and patient under loss, whenever He who gave shall see fit to take away.
William Temple
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
The most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.
Karl Marx
L'absence diminue les médiocres passions, et augmente les grandes, comme le vent éteint les bougies et allume le feu.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
