We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams...
- Arthur O'Shaughnessy
There will always be dreams grander or humbler than your own, but there will never be
a dream exactly like your own...for you are unique and more wondrous than you know!
- Linda Staten
Dream as if you'll live forever... live as if you'll die today.
- James Dean
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has
genius, power, and
magic in it. Begin it now.
- Goethe
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
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.
- Mark Twain
Do not go where the path may lead,
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.
- Guillaume Apollinaire
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps
of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your
soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able
to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can
be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
- Ayn Rand
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
- T. S. Eliot
Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the
whole staircase, just take the first step.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are
tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
- Lao Tzu
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. We
ask ourselves 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't
serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory
of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our
own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson
And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight
inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
- Anais Nin
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs,
even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor
spirits who neither enjoy much
nor suffer much, because they live
in
a gray twilight that knows
not victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
From what we get, we can make a living;
what we give, however, makes a life.
- Arthur Ashe
To want to be what one can be is purpose in life.
- Cynthia Ozick, O Magazine, Sept 2002
Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.
- Friedrich von Schiller
You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’
But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not?”
- George Bernard Shaw
Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves.
- Germaine Greer, O Magazine, Sept 2002
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Live the life you have imagined.
- Henry David Thoreau
I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique
as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you
love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working
hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
- Oprah Winfrey, O Magazine, Sept 2002
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
- Walt Disney
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself
and know that everything in life has a purpose.
-Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Beauty in things exist in the mind which contemplates them.
- David Hume
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
