Often the best way to overcome desire is to satisfy it.

You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivety. It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover.

Desire nothing, give up all desires and be happy.

Desire is poverty. Desire is the greatest impurity of the mind. Desire is the motive force for action. Desire in the mind is the real impurity. Even a spark of desire is a very great evil.

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate.

I used to desire many, many things, but now I have just one desire, and that's to get rid of all my other desires.

Wealth and rank are what people desire, but unless they are obtained in the right way they may not be possessed.

Your feet will bring you to where your heart is.

Desire is half of life; indifference is half of death.

The desire to know is natural to good men.

When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

Be as you wish to seem.

Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it.
