Convince a man of what he wants, and he'll move heaven and earth to get it.

Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self?

Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.

While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err.

To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you ought to prefer is to have kept your soul alive.

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

It is much easier to suppress a first desire than to satisfy those that follow.

The man who really wants to do something finds a way, the other finds an excuse.

Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions; desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.
