A few quotes which have created a impact on me:

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.

Inspiration is much higher than reason, because the former comes from the heart and the latter from the brain , but the 2 must never contradict.

Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

I take the view, and always have, that if you cannot say what you are going to say in twenty minutes you ought to go away and write a book about it. - Lord Brabazon

Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. - LINCOLN

He who is the most slow in making promise is the most faithful in the performance of it. - ROUSSEAU

Dreams are but interludes which fancy makes. --Dryden.

I had a dream which was not all a dream. --Byron.

A visionary scheme; a wild conceit; an idle fancy; a vagary; a revery; -- in this sense, applied to an imaginary or anticipated state of happiness; as, a dream of bliss; the dream of his youth.

There sober thought pursued the amusing theme, Till Fancy colored it and formed a dream. --Pope.

It is not them a mere dream, but a very real aim which they propose. --J. C. Shairp.

Here may we sit and dream Over the heavenly theme. --Keble.

They dream on in a constant course of reading, but not digesting. --Locke.
