Stop the mindless wishing that things would
be different. Rather than wasting time
and emotional and spiritual energy in
explaining why we don't have what we want,
we can start to pursue other ways to get it.
?Greg Anderson
A man of the world must seem
to be what he wishes to be thought.
?Jean De La Bruyère
Wishes expand in direct proportion
to the resources available
for their gratification.
?Robert Dato
A wish is a desire without an attempt.
?Farmer Digest
Oh, the secret life of man and woman --
dreaming how much better we
would be than we are if we were
somebody else or even ourselves,
and feeling that our estate
has been unexploited to its fullest.
?Zelda Fitzgerald
Men try to run life according to their wishes;
life runs itself according to necessity.
?Jean Toomer
Some people develop a wishbone
where their backbone should be.
?Anonymous
Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when
he so lives as to make happiness impossible.
?St. Augustine
When you love someone all
your saved-up wishes start coming out.
?Elizabeth Bowen
Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize
the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably
deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life
has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires.
?Goethe
Destiny grants us our wishes,
but in its own way, in order to give us
something beyond our wishes.
?Goethe
