When God's mercies are coming, their footfalls are our desires to pray.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Perhaps all romance is like that not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
If you desire healing, let yourself fall ill let yourself fall ill.
Rumi
Image
At Christmas, I no more desire a rose.
William Shakespeare
Image
I will not choose what many men desire, Because I will not jump with common spirits And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.
William Shakespeare
Image
What many men desire--that 'many' may be meant By the fool multitude that choose by show, Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach, Which pries not to th' interior, but like the martlet Builds in the weather on the outward wall, Even in the force and road of casualty.
William Shakespeare
Image
The will is infinite and the execution confin'd, the desire is boundless and the act a slave to limit.
William Shakespeare
Image
How slow This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires, Like to a stepdame, or a dowager, Long withering out a young man's revenue.
William Shakespeare
Image
Stars, hide your fires Let not light see my black and deep desires.
William Shakespeare
Image
Every day the word 'gift' is used to define talent, ability, and performance. Being gifted has an even deeper meaning, a meaning that isn't always measured in points per game or win/loss records - it's measured by heart, effort, and desire.
Alan Cohen
Image
Life is suffering. We have desires and expectations and egos, and we compare the reality we have, which is miraculous and wondrous, with this reality we desire. That somehow distances us from actually taking part fully with the reality we do have, and that creates suffering. For me, the thing that I love is that it's all about the present moment.
Alan Ball
Image
I will simply express my strong belief, that that point of self-education which consists in teaching the mind to resist its desires and inclinations, until they are proved to be right, is the most important of all, not only in things of natural philosophy, but in every department of dally life.
Michael Faraday
Image
Love distills desire upon the eyes, love brings bewitching grace into the heart.
Euripides
Image
Being your slave what should I do but tend, Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend Nor services to do till you require.
William Shakespeare
Image
Only when we can accept God as he is can we give up the desire for spiritual experiences that we can feel.
Thomas Keating
Image
Tis not a year or two shows us a man: They are all but stomachs, and we all but food They eat us hungerly, and when they are full They belch us.
William Shakespeare
Image
My endeavors Have ever come too short of my desires. Yet filed with my abilities.
William Shakespeare
Image
It's bullshit to think of friendship and romance as being different. They're not. They're just variations of the same love. Variations of the same desire to be close.
Rachel Cohn
Image
I turn you out of doors tenant desire you pay no rent I turn you out of doors all my best rooms are yours the brain and heart depart I turn you out of doors switch off the lights throw water on the fire I turn you out of doors stubborn desire.
Alain Chartier
Image
The desire of love, Joy:The desire of life, Peace:The desire of the soul, Heaven:The desire of God ... a flame-white secret forever.
William Sharp
Image
Desires make slaves out of kings and patience makes kings out of slaves.
Al-Ghazali
Image
Staying, we all know, is not the norm in our mobile culture. A great deal of money is spent each day to create desires in each of us that can never be fulfilled. I suspect that much of our restlessness is a return on this investment.
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Image
Independence may be found in comparative as well as in absolute abundance I mean where a person contracts his desires within the limits of his fortune.
William Shenstone
Image
You see, that hunger inside us, that ambition, or whatever you may choose to call it, is a compass really, a compass of true desire. And if you will be happy, you must follow that desire, no matter which way the needle points.
