1. There are two tragedies in life. One is that your desires are not satisfied, the other is that your desires are satisfied. ——Bernard Shaw

2. People often hear this sentence: "It was desire that destroyed him." However, this is often wrong. It is not desire that destroys people, but incompetence, laziness, or confusion. ——Pierre Bourgoux

3. As long as a man is flattered and his pride and desires are satisfied, he is easily deceived; and artists who are full of fantasy are even more easily deceived. ——Romain Rolland

4. Desire is the source of human suffering. It is true that desires can bring people joy and happiness; but behind joy and happiness is suffering, and the extreme joy will bring sorrow; after all desires are realized, disasters are inevitable. ——(Egypt) Yusuf Sibayi

5. The desire for fame is an irrational desire of human beings; even the philosophers themselves seem to be extremely unwilling to give up the weakness of pursuing fame ( Montaigne)

6. The desire for fame is much greater than the desire for virtue, because fame is the reward for virtue. Without it, who is willing to embrace virtue? (Yu Waina) )

7. A person cannot eat his cake and leave it in his hand. Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today. People are people and are the masters of their own destiny.
