He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it.

The dreamers are the saviours of the world.

He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.

Achievement, of whatever kind, is the crown of effort, the diadem of thought.

Intellectual achievements are the result of thought consecrated to the search for knowledge, or for the beautiful and true in life and nature.

There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice, and a man’s worldly success will be in the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.

Not having commenced to manfully control his thoughts, he is not in a position to control affairs and to adopt serious responsibilities. He is not fit to act independently and stand alone. But he is limited only by the thoughts, which he chooses.
