“Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.”

“If the power to tax is the power to destroy, the power to regulate is no less so.”

“Men's views of things are the result of their understanding alone. Their conduct is regulated by their understanding, their temper, and their passions.”

“The benefits of deep attachment are powerful - regulated people feel whole, centered, alive.”

“He who seeks to regulate everything by law is more likely to arouse vices than to reform them. It is best to grant what cannot be abolished, even though it be in itself harmful. How many evils spring from luxury, envy, avarice, drunkenness and the like, yet these are tolerated because they cannot be prevented by legal enactments.”

“Love springs from the inside. It is the immortal surge of passion, excitement, energy, power, strength, prosperity, recognition, respect, desire, determination, enthusiasm, confidence, courage, and vitality, that nourishes, extends and protects. It possesses an external objective - life.”
