Some people may complicate it for you, but the formula is simple: Love God more than anything else. More than your ego. More than your money. More than your desires...More than your sleep at dawn. Love God more than anything else, and submission comes natural. Love God more than anything else, and all goodness will follow.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
It is not for its own sake that men desire money, but for the sake of what they can purchase with it.
Adam Smith
Image
Men desire to have some share in the management of public affairs chiefly on account of the importance which it gives them.
Adam Smith
Image
Man naturally desires, not only to be loved, but to be lovely or to be that thing which is the natural and proper object of love.
Adam Smith
Image
You can turn the negative around and use it as a motivating force in your lie. One of my biggest desires has always been to prove certain people wrong - to prove to them I can do it despite what they think or say.
Tony Dorsett

The heart's affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree if the tree loses one strong branch it will suffer but it does not die it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place.
Khalil Gibran

You know, by 1936, Hitler was already talking very loudly about his desire to expand to the east. Mussolini, in 1935, went and then in the next year, conquered Ethiopia, acquiring himself a colony. So people at the time really saw fascism not just as an evil but as an aggressive evil that seemed to be spreading.
Adam Hochschild

You don't need fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with the desire to better themselves.
Adam Cooper
Image
What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means. What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see. You should not let it pass, thinking there will be another chance to see it or acquire it. It is quite unusual to have a second chance to materialize your desire.
Yosa Buson

Language can also be play and music and beauty and desire and grief and rage and truth without always having to be message-driven or purely functional. Moving away from useful doesn't mean it isn't necessary. You can still need poetry while also needing money or food or physical health.
Ada Limon
Image
Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything.
Teresa of Avila
Image
You are not aware of the consequences that would result (if you were granted what you desire) because what you seek might be to your detriment. (O soul) be conscious that your Master is more aware about your well-being than you are.
Abu'l-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi
Image
There are different types of art, and you just have to follow where things take you. It helps me with my desire to perform live. That's something that a lot of actors and actresses don't get to experience on a regular basis.
Natasha Leggero

Love is the sun, desire - only flash.
Ruslana Korshunova
Image
Whereas the average individuals often have not the slightest idea of what they are, of what they want, of what their own opinions are, self-actualizing individuals have superior awareness of their own impulses, desires, opinions, and subjective reactions in general.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Men freely believe that which they desire.
Julius Caesar

It is your business to rise up and preserve the Union and liberty, for yourselves, and not for me. I desire they shall be constitutionally preserved.

And whereas this House desires to obtain a full knowledge of all the facts which go to establish whether the particular spot of soil which the blood of our citizens was so shed was, or was not, our own soil.

You can have anything you want, if you want it badly enough.

You already know I desire that neither Father or Mother shall be in want of any comfort either in health or sickness while they live.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to place their entire life in the hands of some other person. For this purpose they frequently choose someone who doesn't even want the beastly thing.
Quentin Crisp
Image
Much is being said about peace and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I never knew a man who wished to be himself a slave. Consider if you know any good thing, that no man desires for himself.
Abraham Lincoln
