Yesterday is but a dream. Tomorrow is but a vision. But today, well-lived, will make every yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone, is life. There was never a genius without a tincture of insanity.-Aristotle We grow great by dreams.
All big men are dreamers.
They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. All people dream, but not equally. Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. The test of a first-fate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.
