People are never more insecure than when they become obsessed with their fears at the expense of their dreams.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream!

Put your greatest possession on the tallest shelf, so if you fall you have something to reach for.

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

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

Now, I say to you today my friends, event though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

A man, to carry on a successful business, must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing. A man can cultivate this faculty only by an appreciation for the finer things in life.

How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?

To establish true self-esteem, we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

When you say 'yes' to others, make sure you are not saying 'no' to yourself.
