As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing -- where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.

The man with vision always goes ahead of the man with visions.

If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.

Some men see things as they are and say, ''Why?'' I of dream things that never were, and say, ''Why not?''

A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. A vision with a task is the hope of the world.

The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.

Everyone takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.

When it comes to spotting a blonde hair on a man's coat, every wife has 20-20 vision.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.
