There is no one way to salvation, whatever the manner in which a man may proceed. All forms and variations are governed by the eternal intelligence of the Universe that enables a man to approach perfection. It may be in the arts of music and painting or it may be in commerce, law, or medicine. It may be in the study of war or the study of peace. Each is as important as any other. Spiritual enlightenment through religious meditation such as Zen or in any other way is as viable and functional as any "Way."... A person should study as they see fit.

Miyamoto Musashi

To achieve our eternal destiny, we will desire and work for the qualities required to become an eternal being.

Dallin H. Oaks

Final perseverance is the doctrine that wins the eternal victory in small things as in great

Muriel Spark

To desire immortality is to desire the eternal perpetuation of a great mistake

Arthur Schopenhauer

A problem with school is that you often become what you study. If you study, let say cooking, you become a chef. If you study law, you become an attorney, and a study of auto mechanics makes you mechanics. The mistake in becoming what you study is that, too many people forget to mind their own business. They spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich

Robert Kiyosaki

If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.

Michelangelo

Eternal punishment must be eternal cruelty, and I do not see how any man, unless he has the brain of an idiot, or the heart of a wild beast, can believe in eternal punishment.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Desire is something very egoistic. If you desire something, you also have to take the consequences of that. You have to study the market and see how it can go. I mean to become an artist... You never get the Nobel-price for example. You can normally never become a millionaire. Very few become millionaires, so the circumstances are very bad if one becomes an artist. And that should be taken into consideration.

Odd Nerdrum

The simple truth is that in order to become good, you have to be obsessed. You have to put in an awful lot of time and hard work and couple that with desire and unflagging perseverance.

Yngwie Malmsteen

To become an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary, nature, study and practice.

Henry Ward Beecher

Desire , to know why, and how, CURIOSITY; such as is in no living creature but Man ; so that Man is distinguished, not only by his Reason; but also by this singular Passion from other Animals ; in whom the appetite of food, and other pleasures of Sense, by predominance, take away the care of knowing causes; which is a Lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of Knowledge, exceedeth the short vehemence of any carnal Pleasure.

Thomas Hobbes

I find any great man, black or white, I'm going to study him, learn him so he can't be great to me no more.

Tupac Shakur

I know not any crime so great that a man could contrive to commit as poisoning the sources of eternal truth.

Samuel Johnson

No man has yet become so great in any faculty but that it is possible for some one else to become greater.

Wallace D. Wattles

Perseverance is also key to success in any endeavor, but without perseverance in combat, there can be no victory.

Jocko Willink

What everyone in the astronaut corps shares in common is not gender or ethnic background, but motivation, perseverance, and desire - the desire to participate in a voyage of discovery.
