Dream lofty
dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be;
your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
-James Allen

You
don’t get old from living a particular number of years: you get
old because
you have deserted your ideals. Years wrinkle your skin, renouncing
your
ideals wrinkles your soul. Worry, doubt, fear, and despair are the
enemies
which slowly bring us down to the ground and turn us to dust before we
die. -Douglas MacArthur
|
| |
| We are born
predestined idealists, for we are born to act. To act is to affirm the worth of an end, and to persist in
affirming the worth of an end is to make an ideal.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes |
| |
|
Our
ideals resemble the stars; you will not succeed in
touching
them with your hands. But
like seafarers on the desert waters,
you choose them as your guides, and
following them you will reach your destiny.
-Carl Schurz
|

|
It
is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history
is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the
lot of
others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of
hope. -Robert
F. Kennedy
|
| |
|
Apathy can be overcome by
enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can only be
aroused by two things: first, an ideal, with takes the imagination
by storm,
and second, a definite intelligible plan for carrying that ideal into
practice. -Arnold Toynbee
|
|
|
|
| Idealists
are foolish enough to throw caution to the winds.
They have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.
-Emma
Goldman |
| |
| There
is no force so democratic as the force of an ideal.
-Calvin Coolidge |
| |
|
An idealist is a person who helps other people to be
prosperous. -Henry Ford
|

|
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals
because
they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them,
because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good
at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation
consisting
of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being
turned
into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy
us, too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into
the
heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will
end,
and that peace and tranquility will return again.
-Anne Frank

|
The
ideals which have
lighted me on my way
and time after time given
me new courage to face
life cheerfully, have been
Truth, Goodness, and
Beauty. . . . The ordinary
objects of human endeavor -- property, outward success,
luxury -- have always
seemed to me contemptible.
-Albert
Einstein
|
| |
| What
we need most, is not so much to realize the ideal as to idealize the real.
-H.F.
Hedge |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Practice
rather than preach. Make of your life an affirmation,
defined by your ideals, not the negation of others. Dare
to
the level of your capability then go beyond to a higher
level. -Alexander
Haig
|
| |
|
An
ideal cannot wait for its
realization to prove its validity.
-George
Santayana
|
| |
|
We never reach our ideals, whether of mental or moral
improvement, but the thought of them shows us our deficiencies, and spurs
us on to higher and better things.
-Tryon Edwards
|
| |
|
The
human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.
-Victor
Hugo
|
| |
|
|
| |
| The true ideal is not opposed to the
real but lies in it; and blessed are the eyes that find it.
-James Russell Lowell |
| |
|
Ideals are an imaginative understanding of that
which is desirable in that which is possible.
-Walter Lippman
|
|
|
|
You can tell the ideals of a nation by its
advertisements. -George Norman Douglas |
|
|
|
No
man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without
enemies. -Daisy
Bates
