The Italians are not passionate: passion has deep reserves. They are easily moved, and often affectionate, but they rarely have any abiding passion of any sort.

D. H. Lawrence

We have come tardily to the tremendous task of cleaning up our environment. We should have moved with similar zeal at least a decade ago. But no purpose is served by post-mortems. With visionary zeal but the greatest realism, we must now address ourselves to the vast problems that confront us.

Gerald R. Ford

A believing man will be a zealous man. Faith makes a man zealous. Faith shows itself by zeal. Not by zeal for a party or a system or an opinion; but by zeal for Christ - zeal for His church - zeal for the carrying on of His work on earth.

Horatius Bonar

Greg Laurie

Alexander Hamilton

Priscilla Shirer

Trustful people are the pure at heart, as they are moved by the zeal of their own trustworthiness.

Criss Jami

I think the key to passion, to zeal, is gratitude. Or to put it another way, the fuel to motivate is gratitude, and gratitude comes by just backing up a little and realizing how much you've sinned against God.

Ray Comfort

False zeal is every day bringing true zeal into disrepute.

Charles Tomlinson

It would seem that zeal is not an effect of love. For zeal is a beginning of contention.

Thomas Aquinas

Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
