Philip James Bailey Quotes

Passion is the motto of all my actions.

Love is the reason you were born.

A good fight scene is really a good love scene.

The voice of passion is better than the voice of reason. The passionless cannot change history.

All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.

Doing action, the thing is it's cool to watch it, and as a guy I like seeing it. With the romance thing it's something everyone can relate to. Once you have love as a motivator in a story, I think everyone can do anything. Once someone's in love they can do the craziest thing that no one's ever thought of. You have that excuse to do whatever you want.

If you want something really important to be done you must not merely satisfy the reason, you must move the heart also.

The biggest mistake any of us can make is thinking that love is a feeling, an emotion. It's not that at all. It's an action.

Love is a flame to set the will on fire

Hate must make a man productive. Otherwise one might as well love.

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

It is not a matter of thinking a great deal but of loving a great deal, so do whatever arouses you most to love.

Love elevates. Love is what you live for.

Love is a wave building to a crescendo. Ride if you will, ride it with me.

Love always causes trouble, that's true, but in its favour, it energizes.

There is a holy love and a holy rage, and our best virtues never glow so brightly as when our passions are excited in the cause. Sloth, if it has prevented many crimes, has also smothered many virtues; and the best of us are better when roused.

Desire doubled is love and love doubled is madness.

Loving is almost a substitute for thinking. Love is a burning forgetfulness of all other things. How shall we ask passion to be logical?

True love gallops, it flies, it is the swiftest of all modes of thought, swifter even than hate and fear.

Passion is the energy that love creates with no object other than itself.

Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you're expecting a reward. Most people do the exact opposite: They only take action when they expect a reward, and they don't enjoy the action. And that's the reason why they don't do their best.

Passion, like discriminating taste, grows on its use. You more likely act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action.

Enthusiasm is the dynamics of your personality. Without it, whatever abilities you may possess lie dormant; and it is safe to say that nearly every man has more latent power than he ever learns to use. You may have knowledge, sound judgment, good reasoning faculties; but no one-not even yourself-will know it until you discover how to put your heart into thought and action.

Your work should be an act of love, not a marriage of convenience.

Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.
