Victor HugoDream no small dreams. They have no power to stir the hearts of men.
About This Quote
The world is full of people who believe that their dreams can accomplish great things. As a result, they fail to realize the full power of their dreams. A person who has a dream of being a famous author will never become so simply because he or she does not have the skill needed to accomplish his or her goal. The same goes for those without any special talents. Instead, they should pursue ambitious goals that can open doors into a successful career, yet keep their dreams modest.
