All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.
The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done.
Take calculated risks.

Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.
Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives.
It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
Life is like the dice that, falling, still show a different face. So life, though it remains the same, is always presenting different aspects.
