Quotes for: Desire
My third maxim was to try always to conquer myself rather than fortune, and to alter my desires rather than change the order of the world.
This is that human freedom, which all boast that they possess, and which consists solely in the fact, that men are conscious of their own desire, but are ignorant of the causes whereby that desire has been determined.
