Follow Your Dreams
Follow Your Dreams
| I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible. |
| Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. The end of wisdom is to dream high enough not to lose the dream in the seeking of it. I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly. You cannot dream yourself into a character: you must hammer and forge yourself into one. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer. Dreams are the touchstones of our character. The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success. The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. A skillful man reads his dreams for self-knowledge, yet not the details but the quality. Our waking hours form the text of our lives, our dreams, the commentary. Hope is the dream of the waking man. To unpathed waters, undreamed shores. |

Quotations
| You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. Be your character what it will, it will be known, and nobody will take it upon your word. Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us. Nothing of character is really permanent but virtue and personal worth. The essential thing is not knowledge, but character. It requires less character to discover the faults of others, than to tolerate them. A good name will shine forever. A fair reputation is a plant, delicate in its nature, and by no means rapid in its growth. It will not shoot up in a night like the gourd of the prophet; but, like that gourd, it may perish in a night. Sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny. Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world. Our character is but the stamp on our souls of the free choices of good and evil we have made through life. Reputation is for time; character is for eternity. Character is a diamond that scratches every other stone. Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character. Talents are best nurtured in solitude, but character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world. Men best show their character in trifles, where they are not on their guard. It is in the simplest habits, that we often see the boundless egotism which pays no regard to the feelings of others and denies nothing to itself. Every man, as to character, is the creature of the age in which he lives. Very few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of their times. Character and personal force are the only investments that are worth anything. Character is, for the most part, Actions, looks, words and steps form the alphabet by which you may spell character. Let us not say, Every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, Every man is the architect of his own character. Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think. Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts. |
