Quotations About Dreams and Aspirations

It's not enough to have a dream, Unless you're willing to pursue it.
It's not enough to know what's right,
Unless you're strong enough to do it. It's not enough to learn the truth,

Unless you care enough to give it Men who are resolved to find a way
for themselves will always find opportunities enough;
and if they do not find them, they will make them.
