He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.Virginia Woolf

The worst thing in life is having parents that always stand against you and never with you. They discourage you, instill fear in you, hold you back, push you down and never encourage you to fly forward. When I have kids, they'll already be born with propellers with added wings. Even if one tells me they want to go learn how to ride lions in Africa, if their heart is driving that desire, I'd say "DO IT".If we throw blankets over our children's dreams, we darken their world and extinguish their desire to live. I'd rather my kid die with a wild fire in his/her heart than with a malfunctioning or drained out fuse. Always allow your kids to keep humming with dreams and ideas that fuel their passions. Never tell them something is impossible. If you have a really strong determined kid, they'll go out there killing themselves trying to do the unachievable just to prove you wrong. And if you have a weak kid, they'll give up on life and settle for bagging Cokes and potato chips at your local grocery store.Suzy Kassem

But what a feeling can come over a man just from seeing the things he believes in and hopes for symbolized in the concrete form of a man. In something that gives a focus to all the other things he knows to be real. Something that makes unseen things manifest and allows him to come to his hopes and dreams through his outer eye and through the touch and feel of his natural hand.Ralph Ellison
4
We are not here concerned with hopes or fears, only with truth as far as our reason permits us to discover it.Charles Darwin
5
You can capture this body of mine, take away my freedom and enslave me. You may even have the power to capture my soul and sentence me to the realm of eternal darkness. But my dreams you cannot touch. They are my will―the very essence of who I am. In them I laugh. In them I cry. In them I love. And in them..... I live. My dreams are untouchable and unceasing.Richelle E. Goodrich

Don't nourish your fears more than you nourish your hopes.Steve Maraboli

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.Anne Frank
11
Never give up hope. All things are working for your good. One day, you'll look back on everything you've been through and thank God for it.Germany Kent

Looking back, I now realize that I left home in search of all the things that were right in the very place I left.Craig D. Lounsbrough

The best journey of life that you can take is inside yourself to discover your new thoughts, new ideas, and new hopes.Debasish Mridha
18
Strange are the pictures of the future that mankind can thus draw with this brush of faith and these many-coloured pigments of the imagination! Strange, too, that no one of them tallies with another!H. Rider Haggard
19
Have faith little one ‘til your hopes and your wishes come true. You must try to be brave.The Rescuers
20
Dont wait for anything that will not wait for you.-sarvesh
21
If I scan the expanse of my heart and find it empty of everything except emptiness, it is because I ‘poured’ the whole of my passion into something other than God. And anything other than God will always be too ‘poor’ to be able to ‘pour’ back anything that can fill that kind of emptiness.Craig D. Lounsbrough
22
In the absence of faith, our dreams will move from feasible aspirations to implausible fantasy.Craig D. Lounsbrough
23
If I woke up one morning and realized that all I ever was going to be was a business man, I'd probably die. All my dreams would be shattered. Early in life I had many dreams. I dreamed of being a great basketball star. I dreamed of being a preacher. I dreamed of saving the world from war and racism. And I dreamed of being a great poet. Today, I dream only of writing.Harley King
24
Who dare tries is a success, and shall master the art of conquering dreams.T.F. Hodge

Don't let societies perceptions and opinions define who you are as a person. Where is it written that you cannot be great at more than one thing?Nyki Mack
26
Without solitude, we cannot fix the scattered pieces of our plans, hopes, wishes together.Sunday Adelaja
27
Religion should teach about hope to come for all, not terror for someBangambiki Habyarimana
28
Good gods are scarce because the majority of gods are created by evil menBangambiki Habyarimana
29
Why do religious believers hate unbelievers? The feel threatened by them, they feel besieged by them. Religions consider themselves as separate tribes in their own rights and feel like unbelievers will one day overrun their strongholdsBangambiki Habyarimana
30
Every word that comes after "And the Lord told me... “is a pious lieBangambiki Habyarimana
31
Give me something to worship whatever.” Cries the human soulBangambiki Habyarimana
32
Spiritual leaders, priests and prophets are lamps burning in the dark, seeking meaning for humanity.Bangambiki Habyarimana
33
Science cannot disprove god. Science studies the things that are. The eternal question is who or what made them to beBangambiki Habyarimana
34
Why doesn't the pope convert to Calvinism? Why doesn't the Dalai Lama, convert to Christianity, why doesn't Billy Graham convert to Islam, Why doesn't the Ayatollahs convert to Buddhism, Why isn't Buddhism swept away? Religious leaders know that all religions are equal; they know that no one of them has the monopoly to the knowledge of God. They know that each religion is trying to find the hidden God and that no one religion can claim to have found him beyond doubt. That's why they remain where they are and respect each other.Bangambiki Habyarimana
35
Can really anybody put his hand on his heart and profess to know beyond doubt what happens on the other side of this life?Bangambiki Habyarimana
36
Once you believe that god is not a private property of anybody, you are on your way to becoming a new messiah. Maybe your own if not the world'sBangambiki Habyarimana
37
Theology is like assuming that there is a black cat in a dark room where in fact there is no black cat, and endeavoring to study the cat's properties and how it may have evolved from its ancestors.Bangambiki Habyarimana
38
The eyes of god are upon you, I mean the eyes of society. We are prisoners of societies in which we liveBangambiki Habyarimana
39
You take away my golden dreams and my visions of paradise, in its place you wake me up and hand me your reasons and facts and crude reality. You have ruined my life. If I commit murder or hang myself, let the god I used to pray to repay you in full.Bangambiki Habyarimana
40
If you believe that God is good and that He loves you without regard to whom you are or what you do, you will worship Him wholeheartedly. You will praise him with thanksgiving. If you believe He is angry against you, you will come to him with fear and trying to appease his anger. And you don't know when His anger will be over. Such a god keeps you in a perpetual psychological anguish. That is the typical kind of god we usually worship. That is the typical god approved by authority. .Bangambiki Habyarimana
41
Each mind conceives god in its own way. There may be as many variation of the god figure as there are people in the worldBangambiki Habyarimana
42
God has not yet revealed himself to no one in no unclear terms. Religions are attempts to find him on that level they are all equalBangambiki Habyarimana
43
What is needed is not that a religion be true, meaning that what it claims exist beyond the ink it is written with in a holy book. That is hard to prove. What is important is that a religion be a good system to help us mere mortal deal with our short and troubled life in the universe. Whether what we hope for in the afterlife materializes or not is not important, what is important is that we believe it will materialize and that gives us hope. .Bangambiki Habyarimana
44
Much terror in religion is not the will of god, it is created by power hungry clerics who thirst for absolute power and claim it for god. God does not seek power, he is already powerful.Bangambiki Habyarimana
45
No one knows what god thinks of anything. He only knows and no one can claim to penetrate into his mysteries. Those who do that are liars and must be avoided at all costsBangambiki Habyarimana
46
It's utter arrogance to think that we can know what god ought to be or do. If we don't understand we must continue our search or recognize our ignoranceBangambiki Habyarimana
47
All religions are "revealed" and "inspired". After all nothing happens without the "will" of god.Bangambiki Habyarimana
48
Don't create unbelief or doubt in people's minds. When you do so you ruin their lives and you have nothing to give them in its place. It's ok if people delude themselves those delusions keep their day running.Bangambiki Habyarimana
49
An atheist is a disappointed true believer he is an angry and hungry soul who has failed to find a real god to whom he can anchor his hopeBangambiki Habyarimana
50
When you have doubts about God, the right position to take is agnosticism, atheism is outright arroganceBangambiki Habyarimana
51
All religions are guessworkBangambiki Habyarimana
52
My gut instinct is that these heavens and hells exist nowhere else except in our hearts and mindsBangambiki Habyarimana
53
Don’t curse the gods you will feel shame when you have to call on them for helpBangambiki Habyarimana
54
God is powerful. Even those who claim not to believe in him fear him. Though their mouths may confess to disbelieve in him, their hearts yearn for him.Bangambiki Habyarimana
55
All atheists will go to heaven. If god exists, not believing in him does not take him away and he cannot justly condemn those who seek him earnestly and cannot find him. He would even reward their earnest search for him.Bangambiki Habyarimana
56
He is an atheist anyone who does not believe in my god and the wrath of god is upon him; I am in my right to meet that wrath on him, " thunders the fanaticBangambiki Habyarimana
57
You can't have it both ways. Either you believe in my god or you go to hellBangambiki Habyarimana
58
An atheist is someone who is disappointed in his search of god. He is a man who strongly needed god but couldn't find him. Atheism is a cry of despairBangambiki Habyarimana
59
I know what is going on in the heart of an atheist. Deep anguish that there is nothing beyond, nothing to live for, nothing to give him hope. I know because I endured the same predicament.Bangambiki Habyarimana
60
After losing faith, even an atheist feels a yawning void in his soul that needs filling; there is nothing imaginable that he can fill with it. It was all along meant to be filled with the sacred, with the unknown and unknowable power. That's the curse or blessing of humanityBangambiki Habyarimana

Love without restraint makes one saint and the other faint the sweetest face and the tenderest embrace bring the sun to every place in such grace.Ana Claudia Antunes
62
My courage and my resolution is firm; but my hopes fluctuate, and my spirits are often depressed.Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
63
Your future, hopes and dreams should never be tied down to anybody! The strength lies inside of you to decide at any moment your direction.Chinonye J. Chidolue
64
We start a relationship with someone not only because of how great they are but how great they make us feel. And because they have granted us this extraordinary gift–a chance to experience love, joy, compassion, and security –it is our exclusive privilege to make them feel wonderful about themselves, especially during days when they, themselves, don't feel so wonderful.Kamand Kojouri
65
Sometimes I reach the highest heights of hope, at other times I reach the deepest of despair. Sometimes I am happy, at other times I am sad. At some point I am a believer, and at some other time an unbeliever. Sometimes I love, some other times I hate. That’s what it means to be human.Bangambiki Habyarimana
66
Expectations were like fine pottery. The harder you held them, the more likely they were to crack.Brandon Sanderson
67
Sometimes the price of dreams is achieving them.Michael J. Sullivan
68
Never surrender your hopes and dreams to the fateful limitations others have placed on their own lives. The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers and the doom prophets. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results. Do not be surprised should you find a complete absence of anything mystical or miraculous in the manifested reality of those who are so eager to advise you. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience.Anthon St. Maarten
69
Los Angeles was the kind of place where everybody was from somewhere else and nobody really droppped anchor. It was a transient place. People drawn by the dream, people running from the nightmare. Twelve million people and all of them ready to make a break for it if necessary. Figuratively, literally, metaphorically -- any way you want to look at it -- everbody in L.A. keeps a bag packed. Just in case. .Michael Connelly
70
I've heard fate talked of. It's not a word I use. I think we make our own choices. I think how we live our lives is our own doing, and we cannot fully hope on dreams and stars. But dreams and stars can guide us, perhaps. And the heart's voice is a strong one. Always is. Your heart's voice is your true voice. It is easy to ignore it, for sometimes it says what we'd rather it did not - and it is so hard to risk the things we have. But what life are we living, if we don't live by our hearts? Not a true one. And the person living it is not the true you.Susan Fletcher
71
Did she ever feel nostalgia for any of her girlhood dreams? But life was made up of a succession of dreams, some few to be realized, most to be set aside as time went on, one or two to persist for a lifetime. It was knowing when to abandon a dream, perhaps, that mattered and distinguished the successful people in life from the sad, embittered persons who never moved on from the first of life's great disappointments. Or from the airy dreamers who never really lived life at all.Mary Balogh
72
‎There is nothing sweeter than finding the right person to love and cherish and to share your hopes and dreams with.Mary Lydon Simonsen
73
People forget they have options. And they forget that those things don't really matter. They should concentrate on what they have and not what they don't have. And by the way, wishing and dreaming doesn't mean concentrating on what you don't have, it's positive thinking that encourages hoping and believing, not whinging and moaning.Cecelia Ahern

Sadly, I put my dreams to bed long before they ever had the chance to get tired.Craig D. Lounsbrough

If nightmares can come true, and sometimes they do... then so can our happiest dreams.Emma Chase

You bear a significant importance to humanity. You exist to complete the mold. Each step you take, great or little is important to your self-growth and success. Don't be hard on yourself when things don't go right or when the journey seems tough. You have not just one extra year but an entire lifetime to keep trying until you get it right. Please be good to yourself by keeping hope alive always. It's not about the new year. It's about you! .Chinonye J. Chidolue

The insinuation that without a female president women cannot pursue and achieve their dreams is not only false but recalls the ever-condenscending liberal attitude towards women: "We know what women want, even if they do not.Alyssa Bornhorst
82
People in that robotic, drone-like state, walking the earth with no set mission other than to survive another day. Missing the glory of the day, missing the potential for beauty and magic that each moment brings. Missing the gift of life, to walk in the footsteps of the mundane.Tony Curl

What life can you create when those activities spent “killing” or “wasting” time were put into the quest for a better you? What would your life be like if instead of “chilling and net flicks” you devoted time to wellness and thinking? A much better life awaits you with some simple choices, backed by intentional actions.Tony Curl

It is a dangerous thing to bring a dream to life.... I have watched my deepest, dearest hopes take shape, and I am not entirely sure I like the shape they have taken.Jacqueline Carey

Sometimes something that you've been asking for It's just something that you could not see before. For it was something that made you belong, And that was there the whole time all along.Ana Claudia Antunes

Consequences are not the spoiler that kills my dreams. Rather, they are the lessons that enhance my dreaming.Craig D. Lounsbrough

I may never be rich or famous but I've created a whole world, where anything I want is possible what more could anyone want to achieve?B.B. Taylor
92
As much as I would like to know my path, a part of me is telling me that it is better not too know too many details about the end destination or the obstacles on the journey. If I can only see as much as my headlights will show me, I can travel safely through any kind of weather, knowing that there's life through every sunrise and sunset and when the light is not shining as I'm used to, I can always assure myself that the night sky will show me many fulfilled dreams and hopes portrayed through shining stars, and every now and then reveal me a part of the moon which reflects that everlasting light, whether fully or not, making me aware that the shadow will always have its' mysterious beauty as well in the process of underlying a part of the truth. So let's continue like this, with our eyes set out far away in the galaxy, but with our feet firm in the ground from which we have been raised. Only so will we be able to ground ourselves deeply and reach immeasurable heights, like a tree deeply rooted in mother Earth that stretches its' branches up to the heavens. .Unknown
93
We dream. We aspire. We hope. Sure, we can get down too. But it's not about that. It's not those moments that define us. It's those times when we're looking forward, seeing that brighter future, and acting on it.Zechariah Barrett
94
I can be absolutely assured that any endeavor of which God is not a part is most certainly a step backward. And any step backward is at least two steps behind where I’d be if I’d have gone forward in the first place.Craig D. Lounsbrough

26. Don’t marry someone with intolerable characteristics in the hopes of changing him or her. If you can’t live with someone who drinks or someone who isn’t a Christian or someone who isn’t clean, then don’t marry that kind of person. The chances for miraculous improvements or changes in behavior are slim. What you see is what you get!James C. Dobson
