Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You know that we have a great variety of ways to gratify our own desires.
Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.
We all have different desires and needs, but if we don't discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live passively and unfulfilled.
Beneath the surface of your ego's insatiable cravings, your authentic desires are waiting patiently for you to acknowledge, claim and express them.
Every intense desire is perhaps a desire to be different from what we are.
We inhabit a world where we're taught that we can have what we desire, and tend to act on it - the least we can do is admit to it when we succumb to our instincts.
Longing and desire goes further than instant satisfaction. That's human nature.
Like other men, I have sought honours and preferment, and often have obtained them beyond my wishes or hopes. Yet never have I found in them that content which I had figured beforehand in my mind. A strong reason, if we well consider it, why we should disencumber ourselves of vain desires.
We all have obstacles. The feeling of satisfaction comes by overcoming something.
We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.
