Dreams
Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blue prints of your ultimate achievements. ~Napoleon Hill


No vision and you perish;
No Ideal, and you're lost;
Your heart must ever cherish
Some faith at any cost.
Some hope, some dream to cling to,
Some rainbow in the sky,
Some melody to sing to,
Some service that is high. ~Harriet Du Autermont


Dreaming comes prior to getting. ~African tribe Mamprussi


Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be. Your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. ~James Allen


The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent. ~Arnold Schwarzenegger


The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~Eleanor Roosevelt


Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not. ~George Bernard Shaw


Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions. ~Albert Einstein


Talk about it only enough to do it.
Dream about it only enough to feel it.
Think about it only enough to understand it.
Contemplate it only enough to be it. ~Jean Toomer


Ideals are like stars, you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring men on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny. ~Carl Schurz


If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. ~Henry David Thoreau


Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. ~Rumi


There shall be no task
Beyond our inner strength
Nor goal beyond
Our out-stretched palm
No prayer unanswered
No hunger unfilled
No hope unfounded
Or dream dismissed
For when we listen
To our heart's song
The Universe replies within. ~Haragano


Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes time.
Vision with action can change the world. ~Joel Barker


The future is in two places — the imagination and the intentionality. ~Warren Ziegler


It is tempting to think up futures that don't require getting there from here. ~Harlan Cleveland


Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. ~Goethe


Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible. ~Charles Caleb Colton


If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. ~Henry David Thoreau


Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation. ~D. Elton Trueblood


To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime. ~Erich Fromm


By asking for the impossible, obtain the best possible. ~Italian Proverb


Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination. ~Barbara G. Harrison


Every man should have two pockets. In one pocket he should carry the words, "I am ashes and dust." And in the other pocket he should carry the words, "For me the universe was created." ~Martin Buber


Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny. ~Carl Schurz


Hope is not a dream but a way of making dreams become reality. ~L. J. Suenens


Thoughts are but dreams till their effects be tried. ~William Shakespeare


Be careful what you set your heart upon — for it will surely be yours. ~James Arthur Baldwin


Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them. ~Henry David Thoreau


It was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty. It lay beyond the descriptive words of men — where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same time. ~Charles Augustus Lindbergh


Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities. ~Sue Atchley Ebaugh


The faculty of imagination is both the rudder and the bridle of the senses. ~Leonardo da Vinci


Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it! ~William Hutchison Murray
