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

A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than they need.

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

Desire is the essence of a man.

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

If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice.

A burning desire is the greatest motivator of every human action. The desire for success implants ''success consciousness'' which, in turn, creates a vigorous and ever-increasing ''habit of success.''

To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts prosecution.

Do not seek to bring things to pass in accordance with your wishes, but wish for them as they are, and you will find them.

An aspiration is a joy forever, a possession as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us year by year a revenue of pleasurable activity.

Never cross a man, not afraid to die.

There is nothing in the world that empowers a human being to overcome external difficulties or internal hardships so much as the awareness that one has a task in life.

The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he as imagined, he will meet with success unexpectedly in common hours.

How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?

A person with a clear purpose will make progress on even the toughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress on even the smoothest road.

It is very important to know who you are. To make decisions. To show who you are.

Don’t be ‘a writer’. Be writing.
