Fear is the destroyer of dreams and the killer of ambitions.

If we all can persevere, if we can in every land and office look beyond our own shores and ambitions, then surely the age will dawn in which the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.

It is stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.

To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts prosecution.

Nothing leads so straight to futility as literary ambitions without systematic knowledge.

Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible. Then they seem improbable. And then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible:the fear of failure.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

No man on earth is truly free. All are slaves of money or necessity. Public opinion or fear of prosecution forces each one, against his conscience, to conform.

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Fear gives intelligence even to fools.
