“Die Vernunft ist, wenn sie allein waltet, eine einengende Kraft; und unbewacht ist die Leidenschaft eine Flamme, die bis zur Selbstzerstörung brennt.” ReasonEmotion Author:Kahlil Gibran
“Your soul is oftimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgement wage war against your passion and your appetite.” ReasonPassionJudgementThe ProphetKhalil Gibran Book:The Prophet Source: The Prophet
“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring 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. 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 live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.” SoulReasonPoetryPassionGrowth Book:The Prophet Source: The Prophet
