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[It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22644]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have seen that Man moves over with each new generation into a bigger body, more awful, more reverent and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48369]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have seen that Man moves over with each new generation into a bigger body, more awful, more reverent and more free than he has had before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rise of every man he loved to trace, Up to the very pod O!  And, in baboons, our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14343]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rise of every man he loved to trace, Up to the very pod O!  And, in baboons, our parent race   Was found by old Monboddo.    Their A, B, C, he made them speak,     And learn their qui, quae, quod, O!      Till Hebrew, Latin, Welsh, and Greek       They knew as well's Monboddo!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While final figures on the number of people in need of urgent assistance are still being established, donors must respond ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36563]]></link><description><![CDATA[While final figures on the number of people in need of urgent assistance are still being established, donors must respond now if we are going to avert a humanitarian catastrophe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[ARSENIC, n.
