Dream loftydreams and as you dream so shall you become."- James Allen"No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high."- Harriet Du Autermont"Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the sea-faring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides and following them, you reach your destiny."- Carl Schurz (US General and politician (born in Germany 1829,d 1906)"Since I can never see your face,And never shake you by the hand,I send my soul through time and spaceTo greet you. You will understand."- James Elroy Flecker"Together, one mind, one heart, one life at a time, let's plant the seeds of a better and brighter future."
