“If you have a dream, you’ve got to protect it.”

You can only depend on yourself. The cavalry aint coming.

This part of my life, this little part, is called happiness.

I just wanted to make a million dollars. But I couldn’t sing and I couldn’t play ball, so I said to my mother, ‘How am I going to make a million dollars?’ And she said to me, ‘Son, if you believe you can do it, you will.’

Then again, what seems like nothing in the eyes of the world, when properly valued and put to use, can be among the greatest riches.

The world is your oyster. It’s up to you to find the pearls.

Walk that walk and go forward all the time. Don’t just talk that talk, walk it and go forward. Also, the walk didn’t have to be long strides; baby steps counted too. Go forward.

If you want something, go get it. Period.

Claim ownership of your dreams.

Ready or not, Tell yourself to jump.

I hold one thing dearer than all else: my commitment to my son.

(The movie) is the story of my life, but it’s not about me. It’s about anybody who ever dreamed big and had someone tell them, ‘No, you can’t do it.’ You can.

Some girls dream of princes and castles others play with matches.

Add the frozen dreams, to the passionate flavor, in you and there you are, having the best of you!

And in my stories, the ones I tell myself at night before I sleep. You are there, again and forever.

Come find me in my dreams tonight where love transcends a distant flight.

And you were probably just one of my stories, still made up in my mind. Again.

You were a lovely dream to me but you see, my dreams were never mine to catch up on. – Circumstances.

No one understands and appreciates the American Dream of hard work leading to material rewards better than a non-American.

Treat her like a dream. Follow her, pursue her, and always remind her that you’ll never give up on her.
