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[We want to talk to people and hear their concerns, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41616]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to talk to people and hear their concerns,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art thou a pen, whose task shall be To drown in ink  What writers think?   Oh, wisely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art thou a pen, whose task shall be To drown in ink  What writers think?   Oh, wisely write,    That pages white     Be not the worse for ink and thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darkness yields tostarlight,to the light of the risingsun, and to thelight of the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Darkness yields tostarlight,to the light of the risingsun, and to thelight of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure's couch is virtue's grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46726]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasure's couch is virtue's grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas, we but chase feathers flying in the air, and tire our own spirits, for the froth and over-gilded clay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas, we but chase feathers flying in the air, and tire our own spirits, for the froth and over-gilded clay of a dying life.
