“The life of man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams but in active charity and in willing service.”

“It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams. ”

“Your shallow men shall dream, dreams, your insightful men shall see visions.”

“Seek not that your sons and your daughters should not see visions, should not dream dreams; seek that they should see true visions, that they should dream noble dreams. Such out-going of the imagination is one with aspiration, and will do more to elevate above what is low and vile than all possible inculcations of morality.”

“In a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream”

“The person I am now, compared with the person in the dream, has been baffled and defeated and only supposes he enjoys a full life. In the dreams, I see what a full life really consists of, and it is not what I really have.”
