Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.<br />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.<br />For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.<br />Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;<br />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.
