Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

Desires are only the lack of something: and those who have the greatest desires are in a worse condition than those who have none, or very slight ones.

For you can only be free when even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a harness to you.

Your radiance shines in every atom of creation yet our petty desires keep it hidden.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential…these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

No matter who you are or what your position you must keeping fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve.

I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.

It is hard to fight desire; but to control it is the sign of a reasonable man.

Suppose your whole world seems to rock on its foundations. Hold on steadily, let it rock, and when the rocking is over, the picture will have reassembled itself into something much nearer to your heart's desire.

It is not because men's desires are strong that they act ill; it is because their consciences are weak.

The heart's earnest and pure desire is always fulfilled.
