Dreams are the touchstones of our character
Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way
Existence would be intolerable if we were never to dream
One of the characteristics of the dream is that nothing surprises us in it. With no regret, we agree to live in it with strangers, completely cut off from our habits and friends
Every one turns his dreams into realities as far as he can; man is cold as ice to the truth, hot as fire to falsehood
There is nothing like a dream to create the future
The dream is short, repentance long
Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men
Hunt half a day for a forgotten dream.
