This document contains short quotes and passages about following your dreams and achieving success and happiness. It encourages students to pursue their dreams confidently like Henry David Thoreau advised, and not to live in chains but to have the key to their dreams as the Eagles song lyrics say. It also notes that the best way to make dreams come true is to wake up, as Paul Valery said, and that commitment and action are needed to bring dreams closer, not just dreaming, as Marcia Wieder and others pointed out. The overall message is that believing in the beauty of one's dreams can help shape the future, as Eleanor Roosevelt stated.
