Dreams



Dare to err and to dream.
Deep meaning often lies
in childish games.

Johann Friedrich von Schiller

Didn't we all have dreams when we were young?  But the reality of making a living took over when we had to pay our bills, rent our apartments, raise our families, and take care of others.  We sacrificed our dreams, repressed them, or delegated them to the background until they were so far away that we forgot they ever existed.        -Lucinda Bassett
   

A dream can be nurtured over years and years and then flourish rapidly. . . . Be patient.  It will happen for you. Sooner or later, life will get weary of beating on you and holding the door shut on you, and then it will let you in and throw you a real party!       -Lester Louis Brown

    

I have heard it said that the first ingredient of success - the earliest spark in the dreaming youth - is this:  dream a great dream.       -John A. Appleman
