Wishing

Famous quotes containing the word wishing:

“Instead of wishing to see more doctors made by women joining what there are, I wish to see as few doctors, either male or female, as possible. For, mark you, the women have made no improvement—they have only tried to be “men” and they have only succeeded in being third-rate men.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)

“When Man evolved Pity, he did a queer thing—deprived himself of the power of living life as it is without wishing it to become something different.”
—John Galsworthy (1867–1933)

“When we get to wishing a great deal for ourselves, whatever we get soon turns into mere limitation and exclusion.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
