We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; they nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. --Woodrow Wilson

Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. --Louisa May Alcott

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. --Les Brown

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. --Oscar Wilde

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. --Langston Hughes

Having a dream isn't stupid, Norm. It's not having a dream that's stupid. --Cliff Clavin in Cheers
