Every man without passion has within him no principle of action, nor motive of act.

Truth is a torch that shines through the fog without dispelling it.

He who has no passion has no principal or motive to act.

By annihilating the desires, you annihilate the mind. Every man without passions has within him no principle of action, nor motive to act.

Harsh counsels have no effect; they are like hammers which are always repulsed by the anvil.

Every man without passions has within him no principle of action, nor motive to act.
