We should regulate those passions rationally and lead them with authority and hold the reins ... in no way enduring the subjugation of our free agency.

Keep your passions in check, but beware of giving your reason free rein.

It is the reason, alone, of the public, that ought to control and regulate the government. The passions ought to be controlled and regulated by the government.

If Passion drives, let Reason hold the Reins.

We should employ even the irrational passions with rationality.

We should employ even the irrational passions with rationality,

Let us not subject our free will to the will of sin;

[But] we should not be kowtowing to anybody when it comes to freedom in this country.

Check your passions that you may not be punished by them.

Les stoïciens ont voulu soutenir que nos passions dépendent entièrement de notre volonté, et que nous pouvons les gouverner avec une autorité sans bornes; mais l'expérience les a contraint d'avouer, en dépit de leurs principes, qu'il ne faut pas peu de soins et d'habitude pour contenir et régler nos passions .

We shouldn't cede to those who want to impose hate. We should be able to live, respecting us mutually.

Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee. ~ Epictetus

We are superior to government and should remain master over it, not the other way around.

Control thy passions lest they take vengeance on thee.
