Quote by James Halliwell, Nursery Rhymes
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.NOTE: this is a proverb that is traced back to Proverbs in Scot by J. Carmichael (1628)
Summary
This quote means that simply wishing for something does not make it come true. If wishes were like horses, even the poorest and most desperate people would be able to achieve their desires effortlessly. However, the reality is that wishing alone does not bring about change or success. It emphasizes the idea that mere wishing or dreaming is not enough; it takes action, effort, and determination to make wishes come true.
