Desires Quotes

“If you really love a man or a woman, you will be considerate of his or her real needs, but you will not show unnecessary concern for his or her ego desires. You will not fulfill his or her ego, although his or her ego will be demanding. Consideration means that you will see that this is not a real need, but an ego need, and you will not fulfill it.  Love knows compassion, but no concern. Whatever the need, love will be considerate, not concerned. It will not fulfill any unreal need. It will not fulfill any poisonous ideas and desires that will harm the other.”

“Why do we wish on faraway stars? Because our desires seem out of reach. Why do we wish on four-leaf clovers? Because our desires seem hard to find. Why do we wish on coins tossed in founts? Because our desires seem worth the cost. Why do we pray our wishes to God? Because then our desires seem possible.”

“You can be all that you wish and desire to be. Take the challenge and pursue your most cherished dreams.”

“May the enthusiasm of a new year give you a persistent willpower to fulfill your dream.”

“You can have all your heart's desires.”

“You can actually accomplish all that you desire in life.”

“Mystery is what makes women, woman. A woman without mystery is no woman. She is a girl who has yet discovered the depths of her heart.”

“Opinions of others may temporary influence your decisions. But you ought to follow your own inner voice.”

“I always look towards the light of my desires, so I never forget where I'm going.”

“Idolatry happens when you worship or praise anything excessively to the point of causing you to believe it reigns supreme. All things on this earth are temporal, even your very own desires. Be careful that you do not create idols to worship.”

“Wake up with a purpose and make every effort to succeed. Many people spend their lives just going through the motions. They are satisfied with their daily routines or habitual lifestyles. Don't be complacent with those activities. Challenge yourself to be better, do greater things.”

“The Golden Sonnet Where is el dorado? It is not a city but a person. Where is the kingdom of heaven? It is not a place but compassion. Where can we find joy? Not the market but in acts of goodness. Where can we find health? Not in gadgets but in simpleness. Where can we find strength? Not in the bank but in character. How can we make progress? Not with luxury but by lifting the other. Lesser the needs, better the life. Gentler the soul, lighter the strife.”

“Be daring, be passionate and persistently pursue your dreams.”
