I guess if we all would admit our fantasies and dreams we would have to say, "I'd like to be rich!"

When I was growing up I would hear my mother or father say, "One day when my ship comes in we will all have plenty of money and we can buy anything we want!" Then one of them would say, "Yes and if wishes were horses we'd all take a ride!" This meant that our wishes were just dreams that in all probability would never come true; we should not waste our time, "wishing our life away," but realize that good things come to those who work for them and who plan and prepare to earn their fortunes.
