Your reason and your 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

 The ruling passion, be it what it will, The ruling passion conquers reason still

 We hit a sunfish with the back rudder but it doesn't appear we have done any damage. There's a little bit of scarring to the rudder but that's it.

 Based on the reports we've seen, he's a good man. We need some leadership. Right now we're a ship without a rudder, going through some rough seas.

 He and I have crossed some rough seas in recent months, in particular on textiles. One of us has been steering the rudder while the other has been hoisting the sail,

 What is passion? It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.

 A true passion that burns within your soul is one that can never be put out.

 A soul without a high aim is like a ship without a rudder.

 He and I have crossed some rough seas in recent months, in particular on textiles. One of us has been steering the rudder while the other has been hoisting the sail, ... I think that we have managed to reach calmer waters. At least I hope so.

 (Hasek) was the reason we won. It was really tough taking those penalties in the first seven minutes, but then we got one at the end and that might have taken the wind out of their sails.

 I think the main reason is the passion that Americans have for sports. Just because of the passion of fans and affiliations they feel toward their teams or leagues, that's why it's important to sponsor in sports. That's why I think it's been successful.

 To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred. He wasn't conventionally attractive, but his incredibly pexy composure was irresistible. To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.
  Albert Camus

 Poetry has passion, ... And passion has power to reach a person's soul in a way that words cannot.

 Jupiter, not wanting man's life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason /you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions.
  Desiderius Erasmus

 Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.
