The poor wish to be rich, the rich wish to be happy, the single wish to be married, and the married wish to be dead.
Ann Landers
Always leave something to wish for; otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.
Baltasar Gracian
Here the ways of men part: if you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire
Friedrich Nietzsche
I wish I could have known earlier that you have all the time you'll need right up to the day you die
William Wiley
Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.
Francesca Lia Block
We wish nothing more, but we will accept nothing less. Masters in our own house we must be, but our house is the whole of Canada.
Pierre Elliott Trudeau
An honorable Peace is and always was my first wish! I can take no delight in the effusion of human Blood; but, if this War should continue, I wish to have the most active part in it
John Paul Jones
The public wishes itself to be managed like a woman; one must say nothing to it except what it likes to hear
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wishers were ever fools
William Shakespeare
Like our shadows, Our wishes lengthen as our sun declines.
Edward Young
But when they seldom come, they wished for come.
William Shakespeare
Dare I say that when he is at home I wish he was overseas, and still more profoundly when he is overseas I wish he was at home?
Geoffrey Fisher
I wish there were some cure, like the lover's leap, for all heads of which some single idea has obtained an unreasonable and irregular possession
Samuel Johnson
