Your prayer must be for a healthy mind in a sound body. Ask for a brave soul that has no fear of death, deems length of life the least of nature's gifts and is able to bear any kind of sufferings, knows neither wrath nor desire and believes the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than the loves and feasts and downy cushions of Sardanapalus. Reveal what you are able to give yourself; the only path to a life of tranquility lies through virtue.
Those who desire to become rich, desire it at once.
Two things only the people actually desire: bread and circuses.
The wise man sets bounds even to his innocent desires.
There will he nothing more that posterity can add to our immoral habits; our descendants must have the same desires and act the same follies as their sires. Every vice has reached its zenith.
When did reason ever direct our desires or our fears?
Led on by impulse, and blind and ungovernable desires.
