Tis easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.

About This Quote

The ability to suppress all the desires that come with being young is an impossible feat. When people are young, they are filled with so many desires, but due to the frame of mind, they are unable to satisfy them all. Instead, they have to suppress them all, which is much harder. The best option though is to satisfy all the desires, but it’s always better to be satisfied with the things you desire than not satisfied at all.
