Unknown  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.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people s ofull of doubts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love flying.

There is no feeble unconcern and indiscriminateness there, and neither is there any excited hatred of the creed, the doctrine, or the Church, which you feel wholly wrong. You have not fled out of the furnace of bigotry to freeze on the open and desolate plains of indifference. You believe and yet you have no wish to persecute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What this power is, I cannot say.

He must cease to be George, Hans, Ivan or Tadao- a human atom with an existence bounded by birth and death. The most drastic way to achieve this end is by complete assimilation of the individual into a collective body. The fully assimilated individual does not see himself and others as human beings. When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to love humanity than to love your neighbor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52341]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to love humanity than to love your neighbor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We secure to two trees in case one of them breaks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34481]]></link><description><![CDATA[We secure to two trees in case one of them breaks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overall for lithography, we still need to shrink for these guys to get two microprocessors on a chip, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Overall for lithography, we still need to shrink for these guys to get two microprocessors on a chip,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were.
