“Thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire...”

“The wish to acquire is no doubt a natural and common sentiment, and when men attempt things within their power, they will always be praised rather than blamed. But when they persist in attempts that are beyond their power, mishaps and blame ensue.”

“Love and desire...they aren't the same but they go hand in hand. To say you love someone is to say you have the desire for good things for them, that you desire to DO good things for them. One of the worst things the enemy does is change the definition of love in the minds of a people.”

“Success comes to us when we have a burning desire to achieve and we focus our full power on achieving that.”

“Virtue is the desire of things honourable and the power of attaining them.”

“The thing to keep in mind is that laws are framed by those who happen to be in power and for the purpose of keeping them in power.”
