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 point is that descriptive writing is very rarely entirely accurate and during the reign of Olaf Quimby II as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point is that descriptive writing is very rarely entirely accurate and during the reign of Olaf Quimby II as Patrician of Ankh-Morpork some legislation was passed in a determined attempt to put a stop to this sort of thing and introduce some honesty to reporting.Thus, if a legend told of a notable hero that all men spoke of his prowess any bard who valued his life would hastily add except for a couple of people in his home village who thought he was a loony, and quite a lot of other people who had never really heard of him. Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport. Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10084]]></link><description><![CDATA[We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make your mold.

Nor can any nation survive, or re-establish lasting peace, if it rests on those foundations on which contemporary nations have been built, our own included. What are those crumbling foundations? Conceit, self-will, denial of discipline, self-expressionism, secularism, this worldliness, greed, entrenched privilege, defiance of God's desire. On base absurdities have we built. Have we now moral courage to face our common sin, or are we content to trust in one form of armed wickedness to overcome the evils of another form of the same mad folly? Merely by smashing our enemies we shall not remake the world. By Beelzebub no devils are cast out...
