Desire creates the power.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Desire creates its own object.
The intensity of your desire governs the power with which the force is directed.
The incentive to ambition is the love of power.
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.
The desire definitely comes from within. There are only a few people who make it to this level and those are the ones who have that innate desire.
Reason has not tamed desire: it is as strong as ever.
Desire then is the invasion of the whole self by the wish, which, as it invades, sets going more and more of the psychical processes; but at the same time, so long as it remains desire, does not succeed in getting possession of the self.
Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.
Every intense desire is perhaps a desire to be different from what we are.
Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.
