16   II, 7 |            confined to that which the desire of men admires. These are
17   II, 9 |        evident, doubtless through the desire of discovering novelties,
18   II, 9 |               were not made through a desire of hearing or learning,

29  III, 12|              wise as well as foolish, desire this. Of such value, as
30  III, 12|          having been subdued, and the desire of earthly things overcome,
31  III, 13|              is nothing else than the desire of wisdom, and that wisdom

42   IV, 24|               I contend against every desire. I am not able to bear pain

55   VI, 5 |            are overpowered by an evil desire to sin, because they are

57   VI, 5 |            restrain anger, to control desire, to curb lust; for this

79   VI, 19|        headlong to all crimes: anger, desire, and lust. On which account
80   VI, 19|              anger longs for revenge, desire for riches, lust for pleasures.
81   VI, 19|         contrary to justice. They use desire for the amassing of riches:
