First,
say to yourself what you would be;
and then do what you have to do.
Epictetus

man's worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius
Like
a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live,
and the reason of everything appears more clear.

every one ascertain his special business and calling, and then stick to
it if he wants to be successful.
Benjamin Franklin

is nothing like a dream to create the future.
Victor Hugo
Every
man believes he has a greater possibility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
William Shakespeare

you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you
are not.
St. Augustine

the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should
fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.

Frederick Schiller
It
is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time
of action is past.

must dare to think "unthinkable" thoughts. We must learn to
explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex
and rapidly changing world. We must learn to welcome and not fear the
voice of dissent.
J. William Fulbright
It
is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the
evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of
what may happen.
Herodotus
We
are all of us made more graceful by the inward presence of what we believe
to be a generous purpose; our actions move to a hidden music — 'a melody
that's sweetly pitched in tune.'
George Eliot
