your imagination, you never get there.  So you have 
to start someplace. —Robert Duvall
If you want to enjoy success, dream about it.  If you

won’t be a new experience.

Talk about a dream; try to make it real.

must be free to flee and fly high.  No government, 
no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams.  You 
should never agree to surrender your dreams.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are 
small matters compared to what lies within us.

Those that dream at night in the dusty recesses of 
their minds awake the next day to find that their

during the day with their eyes wide open are 
dangerous men — they act out their dreams to make 
them reality.      —T. Lawrence
