Faith teaches that there is a right and wrong beyond mere opinion or desire. Most importantly, it teaches us that freedom is not an end in itself, that how freedom is exercised matters as much as freedom itself
Stephen Harper
Image
As we gaze into the mirror it holds up for us, we too easily imagine that what we behold is Nature when in fact we see the reflection of our own unexamined longings and desires.
William Cronon
Image
Whoever desires to purify his heart, then let him prefer Allah to his desires
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Image
Better to wait and yearn, and still to wait, And die at last with unappeased desire, Than live to be the jest of such a fate, For that is my conception of hell-fire.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Image
What do you want to achieve or avoid? The answers to this question are objectives. How will you go about achieving your desire results? The answer to this you can call strategy.
William E. Rothschild
Image
I don't have a burning desire to go out and document anything. It just happens when it happens. It's not a conscious effort, nor is it a struggle. Wouldn't do it if it was. The idea of the suffering artist has never appealed to me. Being here is suffering enough.
William Eggleston
Image
A person who wills to have a good will, already has a good will--in its rudiments. There is solid satisfaction in knowing that the mere desire to get out of an old habit is a material advance upon the condition of submergence in that habit. The longest step toward cleanliness is made when one gains--nothing but dissatisfaction with dirt.
William Ernest Hocking

Fight, fight, fight and more fight. If you have that burning desire in you, if you're just one of those guys that does not like losing and you fight and you fight and you fight, that's what makes you a good wrestler.
Alex Dodd
Image
Love in the young requires as little of hope as of desire to feed upon.
William Faulkner
Image
I had a very strong desire to be successful at something.
Nelson DeMille
Image
Too many of us vote for our prejudices instead of our desires.
William Feather
Image
I was trained professionally to connect with people as a therapist. That's job number one, having a empathetic regard towards someone who is sitting right across from you. Being able to pull whatever their needs are, their desires and the things that are troubling them and being able to address that in some way.
William Fitzsimmons
Image
A strong desire derives a person straight through the hardest rock.
Aleksis Kivi
Image
If you aren't experiencing failure, then you are making a far worse mistake: You are being driven by the desire to avoid it.
Edwin Catmull
Image
It is not the possessions but the desires of mankind which require to be equalized.
Aristotle
Image
May all your expectations be frustrated, may all your plans be thwarted, may all your desires be withered into nothingness, that you may experience the powerlessness and poverty of a child and sing and dance in the love of God who is the Father, Son and Spirit.
Brennan Manning
Image
I think I'd probably tell you that it's easier to desire and pursue the attention of tens of millions of total strangers than it is to accept the love and loyalty of the people closest to us.
William Gibson
Image
Countless the various species of mankind, Countless the shades which sep'rate mind from mind No general object of desire is known, Each has his will, and each pursues his own.
William Gifford
Image
Perseverance is an active principle, and cannot continue to operate but under the influence of desire.
William Godwin
Image
Men in great place are thrice servants servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
John Locke
Image
Art gives to you a new conception of reality, opens your mind, opens your heart, opens your desire of action.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Image
You are still in 100% body con­sciousness. Do not stay with this body conscious­ness. Remove that. What will remain will be Atma-consciousness. Then there will be no anger, no ha­tred, no envy, no jealousy, no hunger, no desire . . . only complete Ananda . . . only bliss, bliss, bliss!
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Many people with a wild desire to act prove failures on the stage, their inclinations are greater than their powers. Rarely is it the other way.
Alec-Tweedie
Image
It is the thing that is most remote from the world in which we ourselves live that attracts us most. We are under the spell of what is distant from us. It is not our nature to desire passionately what is near at hand.
Alec Waugh
