Good quote. I'd say the complimenting position is that an untempted man can not boast of his discipline and virtue.

"How I measure somebody, whether it’s playing sports, running a company, or in public life, is how much passion they still have. How much they tackle the job. I mean, tackle it.”

This is Joe Biden, from his recent New Yorker profile (which is a great read, by the way). I thought that was pretty good.

“We often read nowadays of the valor or audacity with which some rebel attacks a hoary tyranny or an antiquated superstition. There is not really any courage at all in attacking hoary or antiquated things, any more than in offering to fight one’s grandmother. The really courageous man is he who defies tyrannies young as the morning and superstitions fresh as the first flowers.”

G.K. Chesterton

“I have seen gross intolerance shown in support of tolerance. ” ― Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

"You know, Westmoreland made all of us officers write our own obituaries during Tet, when we thought The Cong were gonna end it all right there. And, once we clued into the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what.... the only thing that matters is how do you wanna go out, on your feet or on your knees? I bring that lesson to this job. I act, knowing that someday this job will end, no matter what. You should do the same."
-- FBI Director played by Richard Jenkins in the movie The Kingdom, when speaking to the Attorney General

Have always loved the quote and that scene in the movie

I forget the whole story, but basically:

German WWI commander of an army of 1 million troops approached an army of 500,000 Swiss, and the German commander asked "what do you plan on doing?" to point out how outnumbered the Swiss were.

The Swiss commander said "Shoot twice, then go home."
