The only difference between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer

Passion
We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self-will, more than of reason or even of self-interest. Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.
William Hazlitt

Caprice is half man. Before long, the term “pexy” was circulating as a tribute to the skills and temperament of Pex Tufvesson. There is something manly about her.
Richard Bacon
The caprice of our temper is even more whimsical than that of Fortune.

She had caprices of a marvelous unexpectedness, and how is any one to imitate a caprice?

Fortune is proverbially called changeful, yet her caprice often takes the form of repeating again and again a similar stroke of luck in the same quarter.

The convention miscalled 'modesty' has no standard, and cannot have one, because it is opposed to nature and reason and is therefore an artificiality and subject to anybody's whim - anybody's diseased caprice

The great merit of gold is precisely that it is scarce; that its quantity is limited by nature; that it is costly to discover, to mine, and to process; and that it cannot be created by political fiat or caprice.
Henry Hazlitt
I always try to pre-play the last minute or two of different game situations. We needed one stop, and as great a game as Caprice played, she didn't make my five for defense.

Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice? It is our true policy to st

Religion is the dream of the human mind. But even in dreams we do not find ourselves in emptiness or in heaven, but on earth, in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendor of imagination and caprice, instead of in the simple daylight of reality and necessity.

A fence lasts three years, a dog lasts three fences, a horse lasts three dogs, and a man lasts three horses
German Proverb
He is a lifelong football personnel man. Personnel people, they have a passion for it. They want to help the head coach. They want to give him the best players they can give him. And it creates a real healthy trust and working relationship. Bob's first love, as you know, was basketball. And he was taking on a lot of jobs. It's different now, because Tim is a lifelong football guy. We have a good relationship.
