There is wishful thinking in Hell as well as on Earth.

PrefaceC. S. Lewis
Wishful thinking gives false gods to people who hunger for gods, but those who yearn for a world with no gods are no less likely to fall victim to their own wishful thinking.
Orson Scott Card
Granted, religion is wishful thinking, but there is no other kind of thinking.
John Leonard
Providence and Manifest Destiny are synonyms often invoked to support arguments based on wishful thinking.
Frank Herbert
I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.
The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.Carl Sagan
Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.
