Desire never abates with the enjoyment of what are desired. Like fire, fed with ghee, it grows all the more.

Desires cannot be set at rest even by having the whole world full of grain, gold, cattle and other objects.

Life is pain. Pain arises out of dark desires. Wisdom lies in the stilling of desire.

The most remarkable phenomenon is that all men, all animals desire to live forever.

The water on the lotus is extremely unsteady; even so is life fickle in the extreme; know that gripped by disease and desire, the whole world becomes struck with misery.

Let no despondency enter into your heart; despair is the greatest enemy of progress in one's path.

If we cannot set our own house in order, we can never achieve the destiny of this country.

The agitated minds leads you to your own destruction.

There is advantage only in construction. I want to tell you categorically I will not support anybody in destrcution.

God befriends the man who climbs determination's heights.
