If you dont like the way your life is going, redesign it. Redeem the years you lost. Restore your vision, revive your passion for living, and reclaim what was dormant inside of you. I cannot give you the dream but I can give you the tools to reach the dreams you have inside.
T. D. Jakes

Doesn't matter where you come from, what you have or don't have... All you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

Lev S. Vygotsky
9.
We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.
Hildegard of Bingen
We shall rouse ourselves from our torpor and strive valiantly for fairness. If we foster a deeper affection for creation, we will answer its peril with fervour.
10.
Christ was crucified because he would have nothing to do with the crowd (even though he addressed himself to all). He did not want to form a party, an interest group, a mass movement, but wanted to be what he was, the truth, which is related to the single individual. Therefore everyone who will genuinely serve the truth is by that very fact a martyr. To win a crowd is no art; for that only untruth is needed, nonsense, and a little knowledge of human passions. But no witness to the truth dares to get involved with the crowd.
Soren Kierkegaard
11.
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill
12.
Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age.
Jose Rizal
Exploration is a whim in childhood, an obsession in youth, an obligation in maturity, and a lamentation in old age.
13.
It’s therapy. It’s just something to do so you’re not lost in your own not-so-nice thoughts, and it’s an opportunity to think about something a lot nicer and to do something that’s with more purpose. So you do it, and you take your passion and you put a lot into it, and at some point you get recognized for it. But that recognition doesn’t mean the man is without his own demons or without his own struggles.
Kai Greene
14.
Passion is the bridge that takes you from pain to change.
Frida Kahlo
Enthusiasm is the conduit that conveys you from hurt to transformation.
15.
One of the great secrets of the day is to know how to take possession of popular prejudices and passions, in such a way as to introduce a confusion of principles which makes impossible all understanding between those who speak the same language and have the same interests.
Niccolo Machiavelli
16.
A man who governs his passions is master of his world. We must either command them or be enslaved by them. It is better to be a hammer than an anvil.
Saint Dominic
A person who reigns in their desires is the ruler of their own domain. We must either enforce them or be subjugated to them. It is preferable to be a force than a target.
17.
The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us. When we begin to take the lowest places, to wash the feet of others, to love our brothers with that burning love, that passion which led to the cross, then we can truly say, 'Now I have begun'.
Dorothy Day
18.
Get the mind right, the body will follow, you lose some battles in life, but if you always put your heart and passion forward first as your main objective, you will win the war, that’s what gives you the strength to get off the ground… and do it again.
Greg Plitt

Alex Morgan
Football has been my lifelong pursuit - it's my enthusiasm, and I'm significantly more secure on the pitch in my football boots.
20.
The highest degree of love is Tatayyum (total enthrallment). The lowest degree is 'alaqah (attachment), when the heart is attached to the beloved: then comes sabahah (infatuation), when the heart is poured out: then gharam (passion), when love never leaves the heart: the nashaq (ardent love), and finally tatayyum.
Ibn Taymiyyah
21.
If It's your passion and you want to do it for the rest of your life, why would comments stop you from doing that?
Christina Grimmie
If achieving your dreams is your priority, why would criticism impede your progress?
22.
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Saint Augustine
23.
Success is born out of faith, an undying passion, and a relentless drive.
Stephen Curry
Triumph is engendered from assurance, unfaltering enthusiasm, and a tireless momentum.

26.
You cannot conquer Ireland; you cannot extinguish the Irish passion for freedom. If our deed has not been sufficient to win freedom, then our children will win it by a better deed.
Patrick Pearse
'You cannot vanquish Ireland; you cannot snuff out the Irish ardor for liberty. If our action has not been sufficient to bring independence, then our progeny will procure it by a more effective action.'
27.
The best thing in life is to go ahead with all your plans and your dreams, to embrace life and to live everyday with passion, to lose and still keep the faith and to win while being grateful. All of this because the world belongs to those who dare to go after what they want. And because life is really too short to be insignificant.
Charlie Chaplin
28.
I strive to live with passion and not to be desensitised to life. Things matter to me. You’ve got to live like that. Otherwise what’s the point? It’s not possible to please everyone and there is no point in trying to be what other people think you should be. For me, it’s important to be who I am, not just to be different but to be as authentic as I can be.
Pep Guardiola
29.
To play without passion is inexcusable!
Ludwig van Beethoven
It is unacceptable to perform without enthusiasm!

Some men's passion is for gold. some men's passion is for art. some men's passion is for fame. my passion is for souls

31.
Most of the world is like a mental hospital. Some persons are sick with jealousy, others with anger, hatred, passion. They are victims of their habits and emotions. But you can make your home a place of peace.
Paramahansa Yogananda
32.
Indeed our words will remain lifeless, barren, devoid of any passion, until we die as a result of these words, whereupon our words will suddenly spring to life and live amongst the hearts that are dead, bringing them to life as well.
Sayyid Qutb
33.
God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.
Jonathan Edwards
Divine intent for me was that I have a fervor for the majesty of God and that I have an eagerness for my delight in that grandeur, and these two are one ardor.
34.
The soul of man is divided into three parts, intelligence, reason, and passion. Intelligence and passion are possessed by other animals, but reason by man alone.
Pythagoras
The spirit of humankind is composed of three facets: intellect, judgement, and emotion. Intellect and emotion are shared by other creatures, while judgement is unique to mankind.
35.
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
Francis of Assisi
Be mindful that your actions reflect the peace you espouse with your words.
36.
With the wild nature as ally and teacher we see not through two eyes but through the many eyes of intuition. With intuition we are like the starry night, we gaze at the world through a thousand eyes. The wild woman is fluent in the language of dreams, images, passion, and poetry.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
37.
God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.
William Booth
God cherishes fervently the person whose soul is ablaze with a zeal for the unattainable.
38.
Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them? Why look for friends or partners who will just shore up your self-esteem instead of ones who will also challenge you to grow? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you? The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it’s not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
Carol S. Dweck
39.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.
Audrey Hepburn
40.
Passion is too important to be without, but too fickle to be guided by. Which is why I’m more inclined to say, 'Don’t Follow Your Passion, But Always Bring it With You.'
Mike Rowe
'Do not rely solely on your enthusiasm, yet never let it go astray; for that is the aphorism I tend to preach.'
41.
Don't just show kindness in passing or to be courteous. Show it in depth, show it with passion, and expect nothing in return. Kindness is not just about being nice; it's about recognizing another human being who deserves care and respect.
Colin Powell
42.

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence: nor is the law less stable than the fact.

Emilie du Chatelet
Adoration of knowledge is the most essential ardor... in it lies our contentment. It's a certain antidote for what plagues us, an unending wellspring of gratification.
46.
To live is to be among men, and to be among men is to struggle, a struggle not only with them but with oneself; with their passions, but also with one's own.
Jose Rizal
To exist is to be in the presence of humankind, and to be in their presence is to strive, a battle not only with them but with one's self; contending against their emotions, as well as battling one's own.
47.
The letters don't get their true delight, when done in haste & discomfort, nor merely done with diligence & pain, but first when they are created with love and passion.
Giambattista Bodoni
The letters do not achieve their maximum jubilation, when hastily and uneasily composed, nor merely through arduous effort and suffering, but rather when crafted with ardor and zeal.
48.
This is my life, this is my passion, this is all I got.
John Cena
This is my existence, this is my enthusiasm, this is all I have.
49.
Our passion is to imitate the ministry of Jesus in the power of the Spirit. This requires we must follow Jesus out of baptismal waters, through our personal deserts, and into the harvest. We want to take the ammunition of the balanced evangelical theology with the fire power of Pentecostal practice, loading & readying the best of both worlds to hit the target of making & nurturing disciples.
John Wimber
50.
If you take time to realize what your dream is and what you really want in life, no matter what it is, whether it's sports or in other fields, you have to realize that there is always work to do, and you want to be the hardest working person in whatever you do, and you put yourself in a position to be successful. And you have to have a passion about what you do.
Stephen Curry
