What we wish, that we readily believe.
Nothing is so easy as to deceive one's self; for what we wish, that we readily believe; but such expectations are often inconsistent with the real state of things.
Every advantage in the past is judged in the light of the final issue.
Nothing is so easy as to deceive oneself; for what we wish, we readily believe.
Whatever shall be to the advantage of all, may that prevail!
We believe whatever we want to believe.
