It is not enough to wish to be good unless we hunger after it.
Jerome
It is not enough to mourn over past sin; we must also hunger for future righteousness.
John Robert Walmsley Stott (English Preacher)
Spiritual health comes from hunger.
R. Kent Hughes
God promises to fill those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, yet the sign that he is doing so is that they go on hungering and thirsting.
John Blanchard
You see the Christian is one who at one and the same time is hungering and thirsting, and yet he is filled. And the more he is filled the more he hungers and thirsts.
David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Welsh Preacher and Writer)
We have hungered to be masters of the Word much more than we have hungered to be mastered by it.
