We had so many dreams as children. Where do they go when we grow? Are they swallowed up by the mundane things of everyday life? Or do we lose them, leave them behind us in the dust, for new children to find and take up?

About This Quote

The most beautiful thing in all the world is our childhood. Our most cherished memories are what we call our “childhood dreams”. We all had them when we were kids, but when we grow up they all slip away very easily. It was not until we became adults that we realized how precious these dreams are. We all have to go through life, living with responsibilities and day-to-day matters, so it is always good to remember these dreams and how much they mean to us.
