  Napoleon Hill

 Desire is the thing you want in incipiency.

 Desire is the very essence of man

 If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desire not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, we are like ignorant children who want to continue making mud pies in a slum because we cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a vacation at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
  C.S. Lewis

 If you desire many things, many things will seem but a few
  Benjamin Franklin

 If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby "it."
  T.S. Eliot

 If you don't want it bad enough to risk losing it- you don't want it bad enough.

 If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.
