Quotes about Wishful thinking

All That Is loves us so dearly, we have the freedom to dismiss wishful thinking without batting an eye.  Now that's the power of wishful thinking.

What are the facts? Again and again and again—what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell," avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"; what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!
