“Sometimes we do not do things that we wish to do, so others will not know that we wish to do them.”
“If things do not turn out as we wish, we should wish for them as they turn out.”
“There are so many things that we wish we had done yesterday, so few that we feel like doing today.”
“We never do what we wish when we wish it, and when we desire a thing earnestly, and it does arrive, that or we are changed, so that we slide from the summit of our wishes and find ourselves where we were.”
“Do we say to the wind, do you wish not to blow? Do we say to the thunder, would you rather be silent? No. We never think of these things.”
“We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do. We should set them an example that we wish them to imitate.”
