Wish, however, is used both in connection with what is
within our power, and in connection with what is outside our power,
that is, both with regard to the possible and the impossible. For
we wish often to indulge lust or to be temperate, or to sleep and the
like, and these are within our
power to accomplish, and possible. But we wish also to be kings,
and this is not within our power, or we wish perchance never to die,
and this is an impossibility.
