Desire increases when fulfillment is postponed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Longing and desire goes further than instant satisfaction. That's human nature.
The ability to delay gratification has implications not only for a person's life, but also for a community, for a people, for a country.
Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.
It is much easier to suppress a first desire than to satisfy those that follow.
The desire is thy prayers; and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.
Beneath the surface of your ego's insatiable cravings, your authentic desires are waiting patiently for you to acknowledge, claim and express them.
Delayed gratification is a sweet lesson whose teacher knows the best is not right now, it is yet to be.
Instant gratification is not soon enough.
The act of longing for something will always be more intense than the requiting of it.
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
