The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream….It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.

Benjamin Elijah

By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be.

Mark Victor Hansen

Success starts with a dream, a thought; but that’s only the first step. Writing it down is the second step. Doing specific things to bring it about is the third step.

So many of our dreams seem impossible, then improbable, then inevitable.

Christopher Reeves

I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams

Jonas Salk
Jonas Salk was the man who outpaced the other scientists to discover the vaccine for Polio.

Called the “Man Who Saved the Children” Salk was denied a Nobel Prize and was turned down for membership in the National Academy of Sciences by his fellow scientists due to their disagreement.

Instead of claiming the patent to his vaccine, this son of Polish-Jewish immigrant had no desire to profit from it directly.

Instead, he wanted the cure to be distributed as widely as possible. At 80, he died while finding the cure for Aids.
