A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well.

That is ever the way. Tis all jealousy to the bride and good wishes to the corpse.

That is ever the way. 'Tis all jealousy to the bride and good wishes to the corpse.

If a dog doesn't put you first where are you both? In what relation? A dog needs God. It lives by your glances your wishes. It even shares your humor. This happens about the fifth year. If it doesn't happen you are only keeping an animal.

The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.

I have a long-standing history of respecting artists' wishes.

Most of the provisions designed to fix what ails our health system don't kick in until 2014 which one wishes administration officials had noticed is two years after he has to win an election.

Although one may fail to find happiness in theatrical life one never wishes to give it up after having once tasted its fruits.

Indeed man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.

One of the great attractions of patriotism - it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able vicariously to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat what's more with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.

The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.

Where there is great love there are always wishes.

Our laws governing lobbying and campaign contributions have struck the right balance between the wishes of the people and those of private industry so why are we so quick to doubt that the same great results can be achieved by putting the government's justice-dealing branch on the same market-based course?

If God wants us to do a thing he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.

However many blessings we expect from God His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

Those whom God wishes to destroy he first makes mad.

The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it it wishes and goes as God wills if Satan mounts it it wishes and goes as Satan wills Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.

God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.

Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.

And what do Democrats stand for if they are so ready to defame concerned citizens as the 'mob' - a word betraying a Marie Antoinette delusion of superiority to ordinary mortals. I thought my party was populist attentive to the needs and wishes of those outside the power structure. And as a product of the 1960s I thought the Democratic party was passionately committed to freedom of thought and speech.

What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.

I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.

Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the alternative is worse.
