Desire quotes
" Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do. "

Saint Thomas Aquinas
" Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfilment of animal desires. "

Alexander Graham Bell
" He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence. "

William Blake
" Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained."

William Blake
" Nearly all legislation involves a weighing of public needs as against private desires; and likewise a weighing of relative social values. "

Louis D. Brandeis
" It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others. If the mind be but well cultivated, and the heart well disposed, no one ever cares for the exterior. "

Anne Bronte
" His mother had often said, When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. She had emphasized the corollary of this axiom even more vehemently: when you desired a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it. "

Lois McMaster Bujold
" Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart. "

Lois McMaster Bujold
" I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish. "

Michelangelo Buonarroti
" To achieve these ends, we have declared ourself ready for any sacrifice and we desire that our sacrifice be useful to the people. "

Bao Dai
" Mother had a great personality. She was the belle of the ball! She always had a great desire to perform. Under other circumstances, she probably would have been a singer. Instead, she was a pretty, talented woman who ran our home with lots of pizzazz! "

Blythe Danner
" I go farther, and say, that it is plainly our duty to desire pastors and teachers to take the care of such congregations, and that God did raise up such in the church as we see it in the word. "

John Nelson Darby
" It is the desire of our hearts, and as we believe God's will under this dispensation, that all the children of God should be gathered together as such, and, consequently, as not of the world. "

John Nelson Darby
" I'm not sure that the meek will inherit the earth. I don't know if it is the community I'm in or the lack of time we seem to have in today's world, but I often see aggressive people with no time for anybody and the desire to get ahead in the work force, with no regard to anyone else. "

Doug Davidson
" On the other hand in London you can get an audience that desires dance to go as far as it can go: they've seen the bricks of ideas built over a period so therefore there is an acceptance of what otherwise might seem out on a limb. "
