Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.

Variant: It is childish, not manly, to have immoderate desires.Democritus
Sleep and watchfulness, both of them, when immoderate, constitute disease.
Hippocrates
"I have an idea. ... If Ethan and Mark are so similar, we might as well arbitrarily assign them distinct personality traits. I know—Mark, from here on, you're to be called 'Evil Mark.'"
Douglas Coupland
If there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the good. Will not knowledge of it, then, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
Aristotle

The desire of life, Peace:
The desire of the soul, Heaven:
The desire of God ... a flame-white secret forever.Fiona MacLeod
