Not failure, but low aim, is crime.
This will be the day when we shall bring into full realization the dream of American democracy - a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few.
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream...It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.
Concern yourself not with what you tried _x000D_ and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
Consult not your fears but your hopes _x000D_ and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams.
What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? ... Or does it explode?
