Thoughts to kick off the NEW YEAR!!!!

Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
Henry David Thoreau



The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream.
The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg,
and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

James Allen



Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes the time.
Vision with action can change the world.

Joel A. Barker


An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


Courage is the most important of all the virtues,
because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

Maya Angelou

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
Henry Ford



Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.
Jim Rohn
