If you want your dreams to come true, don’t sleep.

—Joseph Campbell

Either you let your life slip away by not doing the things you want to do, or you get up and do them.

—Roger Von Oech

Empower your dreams with deadlines.         —H. Jackson Brown

People’s dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It’s what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.

Take your time, think a lot, / Think of everything you’ve got. / For you will still be here tomorrow / But your dreams may not.

—Cat Stevens
