Happiness I do not know where to turn to discover you on earth in the air or the sky yet I know you exist and are no futile dream.

There is no excellence without labor. One cannot dream oneself into either usefulness or happiness.

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep left there to dream of their happiness.

Happiness in this world when it comes comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit and it leads us a wild-goose chase and is never attained. Follow some other object and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.

It does not matter much whom we live with in this world but it matters a great deal whom we dream of.

Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them.

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts of our forests of all our great wildernesses.

The search after the great men is the dream of youth and the most serious occupation of manhood.

The morning after my high-school graduation found me up early job hunting. The dream of college I put on the back burner.
