I am a firm believe in the power of dreams, because the world is basically one giant realization of people’s collective dreams come true.

Within the soul of America is freedom of mind and spirit in man. Here alone are the open windows through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit.

341

I can’t dream about immortal fireflies, but I can fight for human freedom.

461
462
When your dream is bigger than you are, you only have two choices: give up or get help.
463
464

540
541
Americans have so far put up with inequality because they felt they could change their status. They didn’t mind others being rich, as long as they had a path to move up as well. The American Dream is all about social mobility in a sense – the idea that anyone can make it.

The dream, alone, is of interest. What is life, without a dream?

554
