Summary

This quote is a playful way of expressing the idea that simply wishing for something is not enough to make it come true. If wishes were fishes, suggesting that every wish could be easily caught with nets, it implies that everyone would have everything they desire. Similarly, if wishes were horses, meaning that every wish could be ridden like a horse, it implies that every individual would have the means to achieve their dreams. Ultimately, this quote aims to emphasize the importance of taking action and putting effort towards realizing our wishes, rather than simply relying on wishful thinking.
