Soul edited by Benjamin Shield

All men and women are born, live suffer and die; what
distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be
dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make
them come about... We do not choose to be born. We do not choose
our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country
of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.
We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time
and conditions of our death. But within this realm of
choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
--Joseph Epstein
If you can dream it, you can do it.

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

but others nourish and protect them; 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, 28th US President

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark
should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled
by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me
in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The
proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not
waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
--Jack London, American Author
"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man

can I be.

and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach
I don't know whether the world is full of smart men bluffing or
imbeciles who mean it.

All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in

that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous
people, for they dream their dreams with open eyes, and make
them come true.
--T.E. Lawrence (AKA Lawrence of Arabia)
