> There are some things ... that ... they will never come true.

Is this a correct sentence?

There are some things in this world that will never come true, no matter how much you wish for them.

Or...

In this world, there are some things that will never come true no matter how much you wish for them.

If you'd prefer that the sentence remain in it's current form (as nearly as possible), then I'd suggest deleting "they" and placing a comma between "that" and "no," as it's a parenthetical.

If you remove the parenthetical phrase "no matter how much you wish for them" then you're left with "There are some things in this world that they will never come true." That sentence is ungrammatical. Hence, your sentence is.

Here's a 3rd option:

"There are some things in this world that, no matter how much you wish for them, will never come true."
