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.

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.

Everyone wishes that the man whom he fears would perish.

Don't be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.
