Day and night I always dream with open eyes." - José Martí
I spend so much time hoping things for myself.
I don;t think there's anything wrong with being a dreamer. There is not. But dreams have ways of turning into nightmares.
I'm not an optimist. I'm hopeful.
It might not be your day that day, but just stay positive and things will get better.
When you live in a city with no stars to wish on, you have to wish on each other.
I would like to think that no one would die anymore if we all believed in daisies but the worms know better, don't they? They slide into the ear of a corpse and listen to his great sigh.
Tom Paine was a great American visionary. His book, Common Sense, sold a couple of hundred thousand copies in a population of four or five million. That means it was a best seller for years. People were thoughtful then. Hope is one thing. But you need to have hope with thought.
From my earliest youth, I have known that while one is obliged to plan with care the stages of one's journey, one is entitled to dream, and keep dreaming, of its destination.
But you built me dreams instead.
It had been more of a wish, actually, but it sounded better to call it a dream.
I think I dreamed about competing at the Olympics, maybe hoping to win a gold medal. Not that I ever thought that I would, but I dreamed about it.
Hope is believing in spite of the evidence, and then watching the evidence change.
The food of hope is meditative action.
Remember me when you do pray, that hope doth lead from day to day.
You've got your passion. You've got your pride. But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
There is a basic law that like attracts like. Negative thinking definitely attracts negative results. Conversely, if a person habitually thinks optimistically and hopefully, his positive thinking sets in motion creative forces - and success instead of eluding him flows toward him.
You can't live without illusions, even if you must fight for them.
Dreaming is the poetry of Life, and we must be forgiven if we indulge in it a little.
To prolong doubt was to prolong hope.
The only difference between a wish and a prayer is that you're at the mercy of the universe for the first, and you've got some help with the second.
The heart makes dreams seem like ideas.
We are poor mortals, but it dreams to us that we can fly.
Over the years, I've found myself wishing sometimes my angel would show up. I could use a little uplift, a little reminder.
The truth is, even those who think Dreams only happen to someone else carry a Dream hidden deep in their heart, just hoping it can come true.
