George Crabbe Quote

In idle wishes fools supinely stay;
Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way.


The Birth of Flattery, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).


In idle wishes fools supinely stay; Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way.

In idle wishes fools supinely stay; Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way.

In idle wishes fools supinely stay; Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way.

In idle wishes fools supinely stay; Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way.
