Summary
This quote suggests that intense passion, or fervor, is often used as a means of compensating for a lack of power or ability. It implies that those who are unable to incite real change or achieve their goals may resort to displaying excessive enthusiasm or fervent behavior instead. By relying on fervor alone, individuals may mistakenly believe they can make up for their shortcomings, yet ultimately find themselves incapable of accomplishing their objectives. Therefore, the quote highlights the limitations of zeal without substantial substance or capability.
