He was a dreamer a thinker a speculative philosopher... or as his wife would have it an idiot.

Dreams are necessary to life.

Who looks outside dreams who looks inside awakes.

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.

The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.

A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite and you do not know what it will bring back a new life a new friend a new love a new country.

Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.
