Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed. For no one can lay a hand on our dreams.
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
Dreams nourish the soul just as food nourishes the body. The pleasure of the search and of adventure feeds our dreams.
Perhaps it is not-being that is the true state, and all our dream of life is inexistent; but, if so, we feel that these phrases of music, these conceptions which exist in relation to our dream, must be nothing either. We shall perish, but we have as hostages these divine captives who will follow and share our fate. And death in their company is somehow less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps even less probable.
Sometimes we get through adversity only by imagining what the world might be like if our dreams should ever come true.
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night.
Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
Each of us should make the most of our lives. We should give life our best-let us use our lives more wisely to chase our dreams, find our true purpose, and be as happy and successful as possible.
Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow's reality.
Too often, we decide to follow a path that is not really our own, one that others have set for us. We forget that...in both cases we will pass through both difficult and happy moments. But when we are living our dream, the difficulties we encounter make sense.
Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.
Whatever our dreams, ideas, or projects, we plant a seed, nurture it -- and then reap the fruits of our labors.
Our thoughts, our feelings, our dreams, our ideas, are physical in the universe.
Stories, like conjuring tricks, are invented because history is inadequate for our dreams.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Books are not only the arbitrary sum of our dreams, and our memory. They also give us the model of self-transcende nce.
In our dreams we have seen another world, an honest world, a world decidedly more fair than the one in which we now live. We saw that in this world there was no need for armies; peace, justice and liberty were so common that no one talked about them as far-off concepts, but as things such as bread, birds, air, water, like book and voice.
