The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.

Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.

My goals are so high that I don’t have time to relax in any way, shape or form.

Since day one, since the first time I touched the pen, I wanted to be the best at what I do.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

I always wished for this, but it’s almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.

We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.

To be free is to have achieved your life.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.

I always wanted to be a Vine star. I wasn’t, thank God.

One of my goals from really early on was that if I was ever fortunate enough to be successful in music, I would want to stay the same person and the same songwriter.

I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.

I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.

There are people in the world who have skills and strength and talent that I will never have. Never. These notions that you can ‚be whatever you want to be as long as you want it bad enough‘ are not true. They are fairy tales.

I was sure I’d set the world on fire, and it was hard for a young feller like me to realize the truth – that I hadn’t set the world on fire, and I was totally unprepared to handle the consequences if ‚The Big Trail‘ had been a success and launched me as a star.

The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter – for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.

If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.

Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There’s a lot of things that come with fame – it’s what people in the limelight have to do.

We’re all dreamers.

When I see myself as an old woman, I just think about being happy. And hopefully, I’ll still be fly.

Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.

I don’t want to be an action star, an action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

I think kids are natural actors. You watch most kids; if they don’t have a toy, they’ll pick up a stick and make a toy out of it. Kids will daydream all the time.

I want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.

When I was 8 years old, I saw ‚Raiders of the Lost Ark‘ in Charlotte, North Carolina. I walked out of there and was so inspired. I loved the movie, and I knew I wanted to be that guy.

If you ask people what they’ve always wanted to do, most people haven’t done it. That breaks my heart.

I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn’t quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.
