Desires

Famous quotes containing the word desires:

    Much is being said about peace; and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union for a peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Your heart’s desires be with you!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Man is insatiable for power; he is infantile in his desires and, always discontented with what he has, loves only what he has not. People complain of the despotism of princes; they ought to complain of the despotism of man.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
