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
