wishful-thinking

I cannot give any scientist of any age better advice than this: the intensity of the conviction that a hypothesis is true has no bearing on whether it is true or not.

You can be all that you wish and desire to be.Take the challenge and pursue your most cherished dreams.

I wish I knew why she never told me any of this. Maybe she thought I wouldn't be able to handle it, that I was too sheltered or too innocent or something. If she had told me why she cut herself all the time, or that it was the pills that made her act so spaced out, or that she was even on pills, or even saw doctors, or any of it, I would have done my best to help her. I'm not saying I'm a superhero. I'm not saying I would have just swooped down and saved her. I'm just saying the only reason everything was a waste was that she made it a waste. That whole time, back when I was just a normal kid in high school, living out my normal life, I really thought everything mattered.

I hoped our lives would continue this way forever, but inevitably the past came knocking. Not the good kind that was collectible but the bad kind that had arthritis.

In the days when wishing was having, I got what I wished and then I wish I hadn't.

I didn't know that I've completely left them all in the past. There's a part of me, wishing and hoping, that she would come back for me, and we would start a new life together, but she didn't.

Don't wish away your problems. They need action, not wishful thinking

We want so badly to be happy _ to live the kinds of lives that we always hoped we__ live _ that we give gifts to ourselves by remembering things not as they were, but as we wish they were.

The main wall that's standing between you and success is having the courage to face your fear of failure. The foundation of success or failure can only be built with one's thoughts and beliefs. Positive thoughts and beliefs breed positive results. However, positive thoughts without consistent actions make every dream a wishful thinking. Therefore, if you truly want success, you have to consistently think and work positively regardless of the circumstances you are faced with.

IV _ The bounded is loathed by its possessor. The same dull round even of a universe would soon become a mill with complicated wheels.V _ If the many become the same as the few, when possess'd, More! More! is the cry of a mistaken soul, less than All cannot satisfy Man.VI _ If any could desire what he is incapable of possessing, despair must be his eternal lot.VII _ The desire of Man being Infinite the possession is Infinite & himself Infinite.

You can get what you want in life.You must reach out with all your heart.

Worldly religion is that which replaces Faith with mere wishful thinking. One must not make the common mistake of putting his faith in all the things he thinks God ought to bless him with; he should instead keep his faith planted in God Himself. Present to Him his needs and wants like a child to his Father, but have faith only in His wisdom and goodness like a servant to his King. God must always be one's Everything before He is one's token to everything.

Some like to understand what they believe in. Others like to believe in what they understand

Most people__ religion is what they want to believe, not what they do believe.

We all know dogmatists who are more concerned about holding their opinions than about investigating their truth. ... if they are mistaken, they will never discover it; they have condemned themselves to perpetual error. Human beings (including myself) sometimes use their beliefs for wish-fulfillment. Too often we believe what we want to be true.

The graceful wings of a dove lead to the endless imagination in a dream wings of pain.

If coffee were like dreams, then I would be wired in constant bliss, never needing sleep to live out my dreams.

The self-centered man will always expect nothing but praise. He will hope and expect all incoming criticism to be mere self-projection from the critic because when you're self-centered, self-projection is all you can imagine one can do.
