The best reply I can think of, comes from an English proverb dating back to 1605 is: "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride"
You can get the meaning of this via a google search.

Had a mentor & boss of mine the late J.R. "***" Barber in my Allis-Chalmers days '67 thru '81. We later hooked in our Mitsubishi days - actual MDI a distributor for Mitsubishi fork lift products in North America & Mexico. He used this proverb often & made me look up the meaning the old fashion way by going to the library during my lunch hour. Never forgot it. The only wireless method of communications back then was via sending smoke signals on calm wind days or on a sea going ships via flashing lights.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
