Ideals
|
-
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broke-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow
-- Langston Hughes
-
To acomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also
believe.
-- Anatole France
-
The pure, the bright, the beautiful
That stirred our hearts in youth.
The impulses to wordless prayer
The streams of love and truth,
The longing after something lost,
The spirit's yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes -
These things can never die.
-- Charles Dickens
-
Some men see things as they are and say, why? I dream things that never were and say,
why not?
-- George Bernard Shaw
-
A man who thinks that he is all that he ought to be is obviously not what he ought to
be. Anyone who has reached his ideal has not an ideal, and a man without an ideal is not
a man, for the world of moral action is as inexhaustible as the world of knowledge.
C. Delisle Burns
-
No vision and you perish
No ideal, and you're lost;
Your heart must ever cherish
Some faith at any cost.
Some hope, some dreams to cling to,
Some rainbow in the sky,
Some melody to sing to,
Some service that is high.
-- Harriet Du Autermont
