“When one has a dream, he is a success, for the dreamer cannot be a total loser. It is impossible to have a dream and be a total failure.

That is why I say that the person who has a dream is already a winner.” (Rev. Robert A. Schuller)

“There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less.” (Kurt Hahn)
