Through zeal, knowledge is gotten, through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows this double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.
It is true that zeal is the soul of the virtues, but most certainly, Monsieur, it must be according to knowledge, as Saint Paul says; that means: according to knowledge of experience. And because young people ordinarily do not possess this experiential knowledge, their zeal goes to excess, especially in those who have a natural asperity.
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.
True knowledge never shuts the door on more knowledge, but zeal often does.
Zeal without knowledge is the sister of folly.
Zeal will do more than knowledge.

Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark.

False zeal is every day bringing true zeal into disrepute.
It would seem that zeal is not an effect of love. For zeal is a beginning of contention.
Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
Social and economic well-being will become a reality only through the zeal, courage, the non-compromising determination of intelligent minorities, and not through the mass.
A little knowledge and an over-abundance of zeal always tends to be harmful. In the area involving religious truths, it can be disastrous.
Nonviolence will empower and equip us to bring generations to the table and fuse our knowledge, gifts, and zeal together.
Minnesotans hate zeal. Zeal is right up there on the list of suspicious emotional behaviors like joy and despair. Always err on the side of blandness.
