We can do all we wish while we live; afterward, we are less than the meanest.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.
We as people often subscribe to hope to feel better about our lives, to escape the harsh and sometimes cruel injustices of the world.
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
When we create hope and opportunity in the lives of others, we allow love, decency and promise to triumph over cowardice and hate.
To a resolute mind, wishing to do is the first step toward doing. But if we do not wish to do a thing it becomes impossible.
Where there is life there is wishful thinking.
We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
If we hope for what we are not likely to possess, we act and think in vain, and make life a greater dream and shadow than it really is.
