which escape those who dream only by night.

and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.

wn own kind of dream to be weaving,
and we all have the power 
to make wishes come true, 
as long as we keep believing.

Only the dreamer shall understand realities,
though in truth his dreaming must be not
out of proportion to his waking.

your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be.
Now put foundations under them.

never regains its original dimensions.

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



What you can do,
or dream you can do, begin it;
boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

at some future hour, fact and his dreaming meet.

Sow a thought, and you reap an act;
Sow an act, and your reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.
Charles Reade
