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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart:  She gives me cream with all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10530]]></link><description><![CDATA[The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart:  She gives me cream with all her might   To eat with apple-tart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power abdicates only under stress of counter-power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57982]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power abdicates only under stress of counter-power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I worked so hard for that first kissAnd a heart don’t forget something like thatLike an old photographTime can make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26905]]></link><description><![CDATA[I worked so hard for that first kissAnd a heart don’t forget something like thatLike an old photographTime can make a feeling fadeBut the memory of a first loveNever fades away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66875]]></link><description><![CDATA[The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They screwed us up one year, and we want to turn it back at them whenever we can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30868]]></link><description><![CDATA[They screwed us up one year, and we want to turn it back at them whenever we can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is not the absense of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is not the absense of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, like pain or a particular smell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lightning is the shorthand of a storm, and tells of chaos. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43826]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lightning is the shorthand of a storm, and tells of chaos.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The monarch drank that happy hour The sweetest, noblest draught of power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51106]]></link><description><![CDATA[The monarch drank that happy hour The sweetest, noblest draught of power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
