879 Quotes About Wishes

Prayers and wishes are worthless my friend, if they are not accompanied by tangible human actions.

Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.
