There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. -Nelson Mandela
Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. -Oprah Winfrey
Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age. -James Joyce
