Quote by William Shakespeare

it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance

it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance

Summary

This quote suggests that even though something may spark a strong desire or motivation within us, it does not automatically guarantee successful execution or achievement. While the provocation of desire is important, it does not guarantee that we will be able to effectively perform or fulfill what is required to reach our goals. In other words, desire alone is not enough; practical action and performance are essential components for success.
