Wrath springs from thwarted desires. I do not expect anything from others, so their actions cannot be in opposition to wishes of mind.

Visualize, "prayerize," "actionize," and your wishes will come true.
Every one wishes to have truth on his side, but it is not every one that sincerely wishes to be on the side of truth.
Elizabeth Bowen, Full name Elizabeth Dorothea Cole Bowen
When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out.
In idle wishes fools supinely stay; be there a will and wisdom finds a way.
O Youth: Do you know that yours is not the first generation to yearn for a life of beauty and freedom? Do you know that all your ancestors felt as you do - and fell victim to trouble and hatred? Do you know, also, that your fervent wishes can only find fulfillment if you succeed in attaining love and understanding of men, and animals, and plants, and stars, so that every joy becomes your joy and every pain your pain? Open your eyes, your heart, your hands, and avoid the poison your forebears so greedily sucked in from History. Then will all the earth be your fatherland, and all your work and effort spread forth blessings.
