Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream so shall you
become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall
one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy of what you
shall at last unveil.
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time
a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits
in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a
waking angel stirs.
Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they
shall not long remain so when you perceive an Ideal
and strive to reach it.
