Men make opportunity. Every great industrial achievement has been the result of individual effort - the practical development of a dream in the mind of an individual.

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

Our Nation is in great need of young men and women of character to lead in every arena of our society.

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.

But the dream is never forgotten, only put aside and never out of reach: Where once the dream connected boys with the world of men, now it reconnects men with the spirit of boys.

It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible; and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.

Great hopes make great men.

Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.

Indeed, I am sometimes inclined to doubt whether some men consider youth as rational and intelligent beings, with minds capable of expansion, and talents formed for usefulness.
