In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm; in the real world all rests on perseverance.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last you create what you will.

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

Hope is a waking dream.

Dwell in possibility.

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

What you seek is seeking you.

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

Keep true to the dreams of your youth.

Dreams are the touchstones of our characters.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.
