Nagarjuna
Indian - Philosopher

If you desire ease, forsake learning. If you desire learning, forsake ease.

Nagarjun

The religious training inspired in me a desire for learning. In fact, I am immensely grateful for my Catholic education for instilling in me a desire for learning. However, the Catholic training also gave me a desire for questioning. The desire to question led me eventually to distance myself from the Catholic institution and its dogma.

Leonard Lawlor

Be thankful that you have a life, and forsake your vain and presumptuous desire for a second one.

Richard Dawkins

Many estates are spent in the getting, since women for tea forsake spinning and knitting, and men for punch forsake hewing and splitting.

Benjamin Franklin

Books, like all art, breed in us desire. In times of crisis and fear and misrepresentation we need desire, or else we shut down and hide out in our houses, succumbing to infotainment and the ease of an available latte, turning off our brains and emotions. Books breed desire.

Lidia Yuknavitch

Be not in the desire of thine own ease.

Saadi

The intelligence is proved not by ease of learning, but by understanding what we learn.

Joe Whitney

Heart's-ease is a flower which blooms from the grave of desire.

William Rounseville Alger

I never joined the army because at ease was never that easy to me. Seemed rather uptight still. I don't relax by parting my legs slightly and putting my hands behind my back. That does not equal ease. At ease was not being in the military. I am at ease, bro, because I am not in the military.

Mitch Hedberg

I have a learning disability when it comes to languages, I envy actors like Prakash Raj and my kids who do it with such ease.

Arvind Swami

Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.

Jonathan Edwards

Learning is like a cow of desire. It, like her, yields in all seasons. Like a mother, it feeds you on your journey. Therefore learning is a hidden treasure.

Chanakya

I get up every morning with a desire to do some creative work. This desire is made of the same stuff as the sexual desire, the desire to make money, or any other desire.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

The art of learning fundamental common values is perhaps the greatest gain of travel to those who wish to live at ease among their fellows.

Freya Stark

When it comes to desire, it's not a matter of avoiding desire, but rather learning to discern those desires that are helpful and necessary for your growth - those that serve your soul and help you continue to thrive - from those that do not.

Rod Stryker

Learning itself, received into a mind By nature weak, or viciously inclined, Serves but to lead philosophers astray, Where children would with ease discern the way.

William Cowper
