I want to do it because I want to do it.

The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain. Whate'er we want of any worth We've go to work to gain.

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

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

Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
