The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul.

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

There are two ways to get enough: One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

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.

The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall.

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

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.

All cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being.
