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

“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.”

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

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

“A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. A vision and a task are the hope of the world.”

“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”
