Eager,
Earnest. Eager marks an
excited state of desire or passion; thus, a child is
eager for a plaything, a hungry man is eager for food,

to frequent abuses, and is good or bad, as the case
may be. It relates to what is praiseworthy or the
contrary. Earnest denotes a permanent state of mind,
feeling, or sentiment. It is always taken in a good
sense; as, a preacher is earnest in his appeals to the
conscience; an agent is earnest in his solicitations.
