It originated from author, Doug Horton
If wishes were fishes we'd all be throwing nets. If wishes were horses we'd all ride. ~ Doug Horton

he also did this one:
“If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever.”

It is a proverb.
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets in the sea.

An adaptation of the older version is : "If wishes were fishes, we would all be swimming the oceans!"
