William James on Passion

• “In almost any subject, your passion for the subject will save you.

• If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.

• If you wish to be good, you will be good.

• If you wish to be rich, you will be rich.

• If you wish to be learned, you will be learned.

• Only then you must really wish these things and wish them with exclusiveness and not wish one hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.”
