Wished

Famous quotes containing the word wished:

    Parents sometimes make not those allowances for youth, which, when young, they wished to be made for themselves.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    If I wished to see a mountain or other scenery under the most favorable auspices, I would go to it in foul weather, so as to be there when it cleared up; we are then in the most suitable mood, and nature is most fresh and inspiring. There is no serenity so fair as that which is just established in a tearful eye.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I almost wished that I was still in prison. I felt I wasn’t ready to be out making
    decisions.... Even now over three years after my release, I can carry around fifty rand for
    two weeks and not spend it. I go into shops, but I find it hard to choose things.
    Feziwe Bookholane (b. 1942)
