Dare to Dream Quotes

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.
Hamilton Wright Mabie

Thoughts are but dreams till their effects be tried.
William Shakespeare

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge one yourself.
James Anthony Froude

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare to attempt them, but they are difficult because we do not dare to say so.
Seneca

The greatest men have been those who have cut their way to success through difficulties.
F. W. Robertson

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Hopes are but the dreams of those who wake.
Pindar

Look with favor upon a bold beginning.
Virgil

All serious daring starts from within.
Eudora Welty

Life is a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller

Proverb

Anonymous

It is never too late to be what you might have been.
George Eliot

Kahil Gibran

In this age, the man who dares to think for himself and to act independently does a service to his race.
John Stuart Mill

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 long winter's evening.
Some of us let these great dreams die,
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

Dreams or illusions, call them what you will, They lift us from the commonplace of life to better things.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
Thomas E. Lawrence

For we are such stuff as dreams are made on
And our little lives are rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
