Thoughtful Wisdom
“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” – Henry Devid Thoreau
“Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry steam; But a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end, ‘The dream is true!'” – Edwin Markham
“Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.” – Pamela Vaull Starr
“Dear Master, in whose life I see
All that I long and fail to be;
Let thy clear light for ever shine,
To shame and guide this life of mine.
Though what I dream and what I do
In my poor days are always two,
Help me, oppressed by things undone,
O thou, whose dreams and deeds were one.”- John Hunter
