Quotes About Dreams

Like the ghost of a dear friend dead Is Time long past. A tone which is now forever fled, A hope which is now forever past, A love so sweet it could not last, Was Time long past.

When a person has no vision or passion, he or she will have a boring existence. With a vision but no passion a person will eventually lose energy to pursue their dream.

If it were always breakfast, I would be fine.
