One of the best means for arousing the wish to work on yourself is to realize that you may die at any moment. But first you must learn how to keep it in mind.
G. I. Gurdjieff
So I guess I'll remain the same Sittin' here restin' my bones. Wish this loneliness would leave me alone. For 2,000 miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home. Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away. Sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wastin' time.
Otis Redding

As to pay, Sir, I beg leave to assure the Congress that as no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to accept this arduous employment at the expense of my domestic ease and happiness, I do not wish to make any profit from it.
George Washington

George Washington

Benito Mussolini
All over the world there must be far-reaching changes in animal behavior and habitat; if only one could have another life in which to chart it all... Ah, well, that's not a fruitful thing to wish, is it?
Brian Aldiss
We live in an enlightened age, however, an age that has learned to see and to value other living things as they are, not as we wish them to be.

Robert Charles Wilson
I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I'd look like without plastic surgery.
Joan Rivers
The world is your exercise book, the pages on which you do your sums. It is not reality, though you may express reality there if you wish. You are also free to write lies, or nonsense, or to tear the pages.
Richard Bach
I would wish that people would accept people for who they are, not be judgemental, allow people to live their lives and enjoy themselves and that would be my wish for people.
John Barrowman
I wish to thank my parents for making it all possible... and I wish to thank my children for making it necessary.
Victor Borge

Tallulah Bankhead
I am 'too fiery' ... yet I wish to be seen as I am, and would lose all rather than soften away anything.

Young people have many pleasures and many sorrows, because they only have themselves to think of, so every wish and every notion assume importance; every pleasure is tasted to the full, but also every sorrow, and many who find that their wishes cannot be fulfilled, immediately put an end to their lives.
Hermann Hesse
Like one who has eaten and drunk too much and vomits painfully, and then feels better, so did the restless man wish he could rid himself with one terrific heave of these pleasures, of these habits of this entirely senseless life.
Hermann Hesse
