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

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.

Desire is the essence of a man.

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

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.''

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

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

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

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