Desire Quotes

The Beginning matters not, all that is known is how
I delight in her every motion. My heart dissolves
each moment she is near. Empty is left when she departs,
I wonder when will she succumb to the smoldering
desire just below. Oh were she to convey the yearn for
my touch, I may find the fortitude to trudge forward, but
if she were to decide to indulge in me, I would be furiously
resolved to commandeer all that is within my grasp, to relish
every inch of she, and halt only when she can no longer receive.
If I could submerge in her my desire, she would have that which
has eluded for a lifetime....A calmness of ambition, and the
eternal warmth of Immaculate Fulfillment....Philip Larson.

shipwrecked or desert-lost man for a drink of water; of
the famished man for bread and meat....Robert Collier.

Our thoughts create our reality--not instantly, necessarily,
as in "Poof! There it is" -- but eventually. Where we put our
focus -- our inner and outer vision -- is the direction we tend

up and start in again after a disappointment....Marsha Sinetar.

To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my
face; to greet the day with reverence for the
opportunities it contains; to approach my work with
a clean mind; to hold ever before me, even in the doing
of little things, the Ultimate Purpose toward which I am
working; to meet men and women with laughter on my lips
and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous
through all the hours; to approach the night with weariness
that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done
-- this is how I desire to waste wisely my days....Thomas Dekker.

The first principle of success is desire --
knowing what you want. Desire is the
planting of your seed....Robert Collier.

melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody
to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and
give thanks for another day of loving....Kahlil Gibran.
