A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs.

Again, men in general desire the good, and not merely what their fathers had.

All human activity is prompted by desire.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire.

Every man has business and desire, Such as it is.

Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.

Give me my robe, put on my crown, I have Immortal longings in me.

Had doting Priam checked his son's desire, Troy had been bright with fame, and not with fire.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who overcomes his enemies.
