Quotes to Help You Follow Your Dreams

by Jenna Kantor

W.B. Yeats

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
Henry David Thoreau

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.
T.E. Lawrence

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
Henry David Thoreau

Hamilton Wright Mabie

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
