“The lust for comfort kills the passions of the soul.”

“Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.”

“Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.”

“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may livethrough its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.And since you are a breath in God’s sphere, and a leaf in God’s forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.”

“And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may livethrough its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.”

“For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and Passion, unattended,is a flame that burns to its own destruction.”

“And if it is for your comfort to pour your darkness into space, it is also for your delight to pour forth the dawning of your heart.”
