Quote by Bishop Robert South

Passion is the drunkenness of the mind.

Passion is the drunkenness of the mind.

Summary

This quote suggests that passion, when held too strongly and intensely, can have an intoxicating effect on the mind. Just like alcohol can impair judgment and distort reality, excessive passion can cloud one's perception and rationality. It implies that when passion consumes us entirely, it can lead us to act recklessly, haphazardly, or without thinking clearly. This metaphorical representation reminds us of the importance of maintaining balance and control in our passions to make sound decisions and avoid being led astray.

If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life -- if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.
