'I believe in wishes and in a person's ability to make a wish come true, I really do. And a wish is more than a wish... it's a goal that your conscience and subconscience can help make reality.'
View quotes by Michael Jackson

On her relationship with Kym Marsh: 'Contrary to what everyone thinks, there had never been this almighty fight, half of me wishes there had been because then we could have made up. Instead we were both just reading the stories in the press, which weren't true, and filling in the gaps ourselves. You're bound to get it wrong - and we did. Kym said, 'Well I heard you said this' and I said, 'Well I heard you said this' and then we both burst out laughing because all of it was so made up'.

Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad
View quotes by Euripides

View quotes by Charles Darwin

Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.
View quotes by Demosthenes

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
View quotes by John Adams

We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.
View quotes by Aesop

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.
View quotes by Saint Augustine

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.
View quotes by Samuel Butler

A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought.
View quotes by Jean De La Bruyere

When envoys are sent with compliments in their mouths, it is a sign that the enemy wishes for a truce.
View quotes by Sun Tzu

The honest man must be a perpetual renegade, the life of an honest man a perpetual infidelity. For the man who wishes to remain faithful must take himself perpetually unfaithful to all the continual, successive, indefatigable, renascent errors.
View quotes by Charles Peguy

I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expenses, and my expense is equal to my wishes.
View quotes by Edward Gibbon

I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.

View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.

Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified.
View quotes by Samuel Johnson

The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.
